- Pluck any visible feathers.
- Add all marinade ingredients to a two gallon ziplock bag, seal, and shake to mix well.
- Add duck and any inner parts (not everyone likes/ wants innards) to ziplock bag.
- Marinate for as close to 24 hours as possible.
- Take the duck out of the marinade and stuff with the available fruit from the bag.
- Place the duck on a roasting rack inside of a roasting pan.
- Add the fruit from the basting marinade to the inside of the duck if there is room.
- Rub all sides of the duck with the rub mix.
- Place the duck inside a 350 degree oven, breast side down.
- Cover the duck with approximately 1/2 cup of marinade every 20 minutes.
- After the first hour, flip the duck to breast side up. Poke holes to let the fat drain.
- Cook until the duck reaches 165 degrees using a meat thermometer.
