Instructions: Singe the duck to remove pin feathers; wash and dry. Make a paste of the salt, pepper and minced garlic. Rub into the duck. Mix together the apples, prunes, egg, bread crumbs and sugar. Stuff the duck and close the opening. Place on a rack in a roasting pan.

Roast in a 400 degree oven 20 minutes; reduce the temperature to 350 degrees and roast 2 1/2 hours longer or until browned and tender. Pour off the fat a few times during roasting.

Serves 4.
