Ingredients

  • 1 4-6 pound duck
  • 2 cups oranges chopped with skin left on
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries preferably organic with no sugar added
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Remove the giblets and neck from the duck. Set aside and use with the roasted duck drippings to make gravy.

  2. Rinse duck with clean filtered water and pat dry. Sprinkle cavity with salt and pepper.

  3. Stuff the cavity with dried cherries and chopped oranges. Truss the duck if you like, but I never do!

  4. Roast in the oven as directed.

  5. Remove the roast duck from the oven and let rest on the counter while you make the gravy.

  6. Remove the fruit from the cavity and discard. It will be too mushy to serve as the flavor and other healthful properties are now infused into the duck meat. Slice and serve.
