Roast the confit duck legs in the oven at 200 degrees hot air/220 degrees normal for 10-15 minutes, until the skin is crispy and golden.
Grate the orange peel and fillet the orange flesh.
Melt the sugar in a pan over an even heat until it turns golden. Add the vinegar, orange peel and orange juice and simmer until half the moisture has evaporated. Now add the stock and cook again until half the liquid has evaporated. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in cold butter cubes one by one, and season with salt and pepper. Add the orange fillets just before serving.
Sauté the spinach in butter until it softens. Season with salt and pepper.
