Turn oven at full power. While it is warming up, and my obsushivaem duck, cut away excess fat. Apple cut into large chunks or cubes, cleaned only serdtsevinku with seeds. In a separate bowl, blend the apple and berries with honey, leaving little honey to rub a duck.

Carcase is rubbed with coarse salt from the outside, then lubricates a little bit of honey. Inside lay the fruit in honey. If desired, you can sew up the belly, but because the cooking process complete success. If the big apple no Sgoda 4-5 small or medium 2-3.

Sauce over high heat has the ability to be sprayed and burn, and therefore reduce the strength of the flame and stir frequently. During the breaks do not forget to try the salt and sugar. Salt (to my taste, of course) took a couple of schepotok, and sugar - 3 tsp. Then he tried to top up her husband and two spoons, he seemed to sour. Honey, contrary to belief, not the sauce adds sweetness and flavor.

Fifteen minutes sauce to achieve sufficient condition. So after 10 minutes after the set it on the stove, add the finely chopped (not crushed!) Garlic, a little cardamom, sticks, five or six cloves, on the tip of a knife of cinnamon, a pinch of dry Regan and basil, a sprig of juniper. Dai prokipet - and the sauce is ready!
