    Preparation Steps

    1

    Clean the wild duck thoroughly and pat it dry. Rub it inside and out with salt and pepper.

    2

    Place the duck in a roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil and place fresh thyme sprigs and minced garlic inside the cavity.

    3

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and roast the duck for 60-75 minutes, basting occasionally with its own juices.

    4

    Meanwhile, prepare the cherry glaze. In a saucepan, melt the butter, then add the pitted cherries, red wine, and honey. Simmer over low heat until the mixture thickens into a glaze.

    5

    Once the duck is cooked, remove it from the oven and generously brush it with the cherry glaze. Return it to the oven for another 10 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize.

    6

    Let the duck rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables, drizzled with the remaining glaze.
