Answer 3

Duck sauce is sauce FOR eating duck. Its not MADE of duck. You eat duck with duck sauce.

Answer 5

Apricots and a ridiculous amount of sugar, its not good for you at all and doesnt exist in china, only in America would they invent such a monstrosity....

Answer 6

It is made out of prune with crystal sugar (for high quality ones),  a pure fruit paste, good for roast duck or goose.  It wont be harmful to the body if it is consume in moderate quantity. Usually for a 2lbs roasted goose, approximately only 4 dessert spoons of prune sauce will be used as dips.

Answer 7

As for Peking duck, we serve the duck with Hoisin sauce which is made of soy bean paste, sugar, dark soy sauce and wine.

As for other kind of roast ducks / goose, most of the them are made of plums, ginger and sugar.  Below is a question about the plums sauce in this forum, I posted my recipe and certainly you can find a few other good choices as well.
