150 ml (1/4 pt) sour cream
2.5 g (1/2 tsp) paprika
method

4. Mix the cornflour with a little pineapple juice.
5. When the duck is cooked, remove the pieces from the pan and place each one on a piece of pineapple on a clean dish.
6. Keep them warm while you make the sauce.
7. Remove as much fat as possible from the pan, leaving the juices.
8. Mix the cornflour mixture into the juices over a gentle heat, cooking this for 2 minutes.
