Servings: persons

1 package (6.2 ounces) fast-cooking long grain and wild rice mix
1 domestic duck (5 to 6 pounds)
1/4 cup thawed orange juice concentrate
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup thawed orange juice concentrate
1 cup water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
1/8 teaspoon salt

1
Prepare rice mix according to package directions. Prick skin of duckling well with a fork. Loosely stuff duckling with wild rice mix. Skewer neck openings; tie drumsticks together.
2
Place breast side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. In a small bowl, combine the orange juice concentrate, honey, butter and soy sauce; set aside.
3
Bake, uncovered at 350u00b0 for 1 hour. Baste with orange juice mixture. Bake 1-1/2 to 2 hours longer or until a thermometer reads 180u00b0 for the duckling and 165u00b0 for the stuffing, basting occasionally with orange juice mixture. (Drain fat from pan as it accumulates).
4
Cover loosely with foil if duckling browns to quickly. Cover and let stand for 20 minutes before removing stuffing and carving. Discard any remaining basting sauce.
5
For orange sauce, in a small saucepan, combine orange juice concentrate and water; bring to a boil. Combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Stir into orange sauce; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Season with salt. Serve with duck.
