In reply to Amy. I made this for Rosh Hashanah, substituting plums that I added with the apples for the cranberries because that was what I had. I also substituted the stock for some apple cider and a little better than bouillon for salty and umami. Also, instead of cooking the sauce down on the stove and then broiling, I just uncovered the pan and baked it in a hot 450 degree oven for about 20 minutes and that crisped up the duck skin and cooked the sauce down at the same time with less risk of burning.

Thank you for the great recipe! I just made this with 2 whole wild ducks, bones and all, and it was amazing! I look forward to making this recipe over and over again.

Can I make this with a whole duck? If so how would you go about that?

In reply to Bryan. No need to adjust timing. The braising/cooking time is long enough to cook both in the same way that the meat will be pull apart tender!

Would I need to make any time adjustments for doing this with two breasts and two legs at once? I plan on doing this with those parts and fresh cranberries since that is what I have on hand.

Just made this with 4 duck legs! After initially burning the legs a little while searing the skin at the beginning… it was completely salvaged and delicious!!! Thank you for this recipe! We made it with some red quinoa this time but will try Witt some grechka 😉

In reply to Agness of Run Agness Run. Thank you so very much! This is not specifically a Russian recipe but the combination of Duck and Apples is very Russian

Such a perfect and palatable recipe which is making my mouth water, Julia! I’ve never tried anything from the Russian cuisine but this seems so appetizing. Excellent recipe!
