Ingredients:

-1 whole fresh 4-5 lb duck

-plum marmalade or your favorite fruit preserve

-6 medium size Yukon Gold potatoes (peeled and thinly sliced)

-1/2 cup of pitted, dried prunes

-6 slices of smoked bacon (baked to render away most fat, rough chopped)

-1 qt of heavy cream

-2 oz olive oil

-2 cloves of thinly sliced garlic

-1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

-1 lb of mustard greens, destemmed

-salt & pepper to taste

For a crispier skin, allow duck to dry on a rack to allow even airflow for a few days in a refrigerator; Lightly score the skin only the breast area, season with salt and pepper and place breast side up in a 400 degree oven for 7 minutes, then lower the temperature to 325 and cook for 1 hour. For the last 5 minutes of cooking, melt the fruit jelly and brush glaze over the entire area of duck, repeat this step 5 additional times. Bring garlic, cream, olive oil and salt to a boil. Alternate potatoes, chopped bacon pieces, flattened-pitted prunes and grated Parmesan in a 2 inch deep baking dish or casserole, cover with cream mixture, lightly press down so its flat, cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour at 350 degrees. In a very hot pan, sauté mustard leaves in olive oil quickly, season with salt. Serve family style.
