In a small saucepan, mix the lingonberry jam and freshly squeezed juice from a small orange. Add spices, a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil over low heat. Stir a couple of times, simmer for 1–2 minutes until the desired consistency is reached, then remove from heat. Let cool for 5 minutes and remove the spices.

Pat the duck breasts dry. Score the skin in a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Heat a spoonful of oil in a grill pan and place the breasts skin-side down. Cook over medium heat until a golden, crispy crust forms.
