Roast Duck with Apples and Cranberries

脆皮多汁香浓美味的苹果蔓越梅烤鸭。

感恩节做了烤火鸡，蛮成功的。做烤鸭吧。那说做就做，没有二话。成品相当好吃，极力推荐！皮有点脆，肉鲜嫩多汁。用糯米饭苹果蔓越梅做的馅酸甜适中，回味良久。

按我说，烤鸭其实比烤火鸡简单省时。先用开水里里外外的淋个透。然后擦干，再抹上花椒，盐和黑胡椒。挂在通风处2小说以上。想要脆皮，就多晾个把小时，就这么简单。我早上把鸭子烫好，然后出门健身买菜，下午4点开始烤。1个半小时就搞定了。

The roast duck is juicy, flavorful and a bit sweet. Just one word - Yummy!

It was the first time I made the roast duck. The whole process is similar to make a Thanksgiving turkey, except that it's easier and takes less time.

I personally found the roast duck is much more flavorful than a roast turkey. The total time in oven is less than 1 hr when the duck reached the 160F. The duck was fully cooked but not over cooked.

The next time I will try to roast the duck a little shorter to make it medium rare.

Ingredients to Prepare the Duck

1)1 duck (5 lb) (The one I used was purchased in Ranch 99, only 2lb)
2)Salt, black pepper

Prepare the Duck

Duck is a notoriously fatty bird. To diminish the fat and produce a crispy skin, begin by trimming the excess fat from the body. Rinse the duck with boiling water thoroughly, inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels. Season the bird inside and out with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Hang it up and let the air dry it out for 3-4 hours before roasting, if you prefer crispy duck skin. The longer the skin is more crispy.

Ingredients for the Stuffing
1)1 yellow onion, chopped
2)2 celery stalks, chopped
3)3-4 ounce dried cranberries
4)3 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored and cut in wedges
5)1 tbs ground age
6)1 tbs poultry seasoning
7)1 pint of dried bread cubes, or some cooked sweet rice (1 cup)

Prepare the Stuffing

Add some olive oil in a pan. Add the onion, celery, cranberries, apples, sage, poultry seasoning; Season with salt and pepper; Saute for about 10 minutes until soft. Add the cooked sweet rice and toss the mixture together to combine.

Roast
Then, stuff the duck just like stuffing a turkey. Roast the duck at 375F till the inner temperature reached at 160F.

The recipe is for a duck of 5 lbs. The duck I got is only a little over 2 lbs. So, there were extra stuffing left. I added some cheese on top and baked it like a casserole. It makes a yummy lunch for the next day.
