Chef Angie Mar modeled this roast duck on the one her father made every Christmas.
Angie Mar, chef at The Beatrice Inn in New York City, models her roast duck on the one her father made every Christmas. After a prolonged salt cure, he’d cold-smoke it so the fat picked up the whiff of sweet smoke. Then he’d slow-roast the bird until it resembled the crisp-skinned, mahogany-hued ducks that hang in the windows in Chinatown. Mar serves hers with a rich sauce of reduced duck broth and tart cherries as a nod to the cherry trees in the Pacific Northwest where she grew up.
Pour mixture through a fine wire-mesh strainer over a bowl; discard solids. Chill broth until ready to use.Preheat oven to 250°F with oven racks in lowest and middle positions. Let duck stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Pour water to a depth of 3/4 inch in a large baking pan, and place on lowest oven rack. Transfer duck, breast side up, to a roasting rack set inside a deep, aluminum foil–lined roasting pan; insert 2 bunches of thyme into main cavity.
