HONEY-GLAZED DUCK
Steps:
- 1. Remove the fat from the ducks' cavities and cut off the extra skin on the tail end. Put the fat and skin in a small saucepan and render it. 2. Meanwhile, prick the ducks all over with the prongs of a fork. Season the cavities and the skin with salt and pepper, rubbing it evenly all over. Put the celery leaves, carrots, onion, garlic and thyme in each cavity. Put the ducks breast side up on racks in large baking pans. Pour about an inch of water in each pan and cover them tightly, first with kitchen parchment, then foil, making sure very little steam can escape. The foil should puff up as the duck steams. The skin of the duck will be very soft and tender. 3. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Combine the wine, vinegar, honey and thyme leaves in a small saucepan and cook over low heat to dissolve the honey. Put the ducks on racks set in baking pans (you can use the same pans used for steaming) and roast for 30 minutes. Brush with the warm wine and honey mixture and reduce heat to 375 degrees. Brush the ducks repeatedly for the next 15 minutes until they are the color of dark mahogany. You should be left with half the basting liquid. 4. When the ducks are browned, let them rest in a warm place for five minutes. Cut them up and arrange the pieces on a warm serving platter. Bring the remaining basting liquid to a boil and pour it over the duck pieces. Garnish with sprigs of thyme and serve.
