Ingredients
- 2 whole small wild ducks or 1 large wild or a domestic duck
- salt
- 2 cups pitted cherries about 8 ounces
- One large onion coarsely chopped
- 2 bay leaves
- 8 sprigs of marjoram
- 1 cup duck or chicken stock
- 1 cup red wine
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Rub salt into the duck skin. Put the remaining ingredients into the bottom of a heavy pot with a lid, like a braiser or Dutch oven, then set the ducks on top. Cover the pot and roast in the oven for 90 minutes.
- Uncover the pot and continue roasting to let the sauce reduce and the duck skin crisp up. Mine took about 45 minutes, but the original recipe says it may be as quick as 15 for very lean ducks, so check early and watch carefully.
- Slice the ducks in half lengthwise and set onto four plates. Remove the bay leaves and marjoram stems, them spoon a generous portion of sauce next to each duck half. Serve immediately.
