Duck with Cherry Sauce Recipe
My mom prepared this golden tender roast duck often for Sunday dinner when I was growing up. It was one of my dad's favorite meals. The cheery cherry sauce stirs up easily and makes this main dish doubly delightful.

Prick skin of duckling well and place breast side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Tie drumsticks together.
