Adams Family Duck
""This is a special treat I prepare for my family. The fruity stuffing makes the duck doubly delicious, and the preparation is fairly lean for such a normally fatty meat. Pretty sophisticated stuff, but not expensive to prepare. We truly enjoy it and hope you will, too :) I recommend serving this with the following: wild rice with mushrooms and walnuts for starch, a slice or two of whole-grain (preferably homemade) wheat bread, rutabaga, sauteed whole green beans and a spinach or beet salad.
