5 pounds duck giblets removed, rinsed and patted dry
smoked sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 onion small, quartered
2 celery ribs each cut into 3 pieces
3 cups chicken broth plus more as needed
1 cup fresh cranberries
1/2 cup bing cherries chopped, pitted
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper

1
Preheat the oven to 325u00b0 F.
2
Score the skin and fat layer of the duck with a sharp knife, being careful not to cut into the meat just below the fat.
3
Rub the outside and cavity generously with smoked salt and pepper. Place the duck breast-side up on a rack in a roasting pan and scatter the onion and celery pieces in the bottom of the pan. Pour in the chicken broth.
4
Roast the duck until medium-done, about 2 hours. Use a meat thermometer to check for a reading of 145u00b0 F. (Add more chicken broth to the pan during roasting if it becomes dry.) Remove the duck to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before carving.
5
Meanwhile, combine the cranberries, cherries, sugar, and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the cranberries pop and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 20 minutes.
6
Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the vinegar. Let cool 10 minutes.
7
Place the sauce in a food processor and process until smooth. Return to the saucepan, season with salt and pepper, and keep warm until ready to use. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Rewarm gently before serving.)
8
To serve, carve and divide the duck among 4 plates. Spoon the cranberry-cherry sauce on top.
