Duck With Raspberries (

1. 1

   Put a large shallow flameproof roasting pan in middle of oven and preheat to 400u00b0F.

2. 2

   Pat duck dry and trim off any excess fat. Score skin in a crosshatch pattern at 1/2-inch intervals with a sharp knife, then season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper (total). Roast, skin side down, in hot pan until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally into center registers 125u00b0F, 20 to 25 minutes.

3. 3

   Turn on broiler. Turn duck skin side up. Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer duck to a cutting board and let rest (skin side up) 10 minutes.

4. 4

   While duck rests, pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from pan, then add shallots and garlic and saue over medium-high heat until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add sugar and cook, stirring, until dissolved. Stir in vinegar, scraping up brown bits. Add demi-glace and bring to a simmer. Stir in half of raspberries.

5. 5

   Force sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a small saucepan, discarding solids. Skim off excess fat. Over low heat, swirl in butter. Remove from heat and add remaining raspberries.

6. 6

   Slice duck and serve with sauce.
