a l’birch duck with syrup glaze
Heat oven to 300 degrees F, score duck using knife in checker pattern (this will allow the fat to drain), place duck breast up in broiler pan. Flip duck every 60 mins for 3 hours. Next crank the oven up to 400 F, baste the whole duck with birch syrup (don’t skimp on it..drown that duck in birch). Place back in the oven for 10 mins, take out of oven and rest for 10 mins.
Duck meat pairs extremely well with birch syrup. yum.
