Mother-In-Laws Roast Duck

This past Christmas, my in laws came to visit us and to see our 4th child who was a mere 10 days old. While I had thought about just going to Safeway or Bloom, and having Christmas dinner catered, I thought it would be a special gesture to make it as I do every year.

Initially, I was gonna have 2 whole roasted chickens. Two days before Christmas I found a good deal on duck as Bloom. So I got an 7 lb duck and left it out to thaw. Christmas morning I cooked it, much like I roast whole chicken.

Now, my mother-in-law and I don't see eye-to-eye on many things, and in spite of all my deficiencies, she raved about my roast duck. So, I've decided to put it out here for all to try. For more recipes and articles on healthy living, please go to Mamas Best Recipes.
