Instructions: 1. Wipe duck with a damp cloth. Rub lightly, inside and out, with salt.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Crush garlic and mince scallions; then combine soy sauce and sherry.

Divide mixture in half.

3. Mix honey with one half. Rub into duck skin and let stand a few minutes until dry. Then repeat. (Reserve remainder of honey mixture. Combine it with 1 cup boiling water for basting.)

4. Pour remaining half of soy mixture into duck cavity. Place bird on a rack over a drip pan containing several inches of water.

5. Roast until done (about 1-3/4 to 2 hours), basting with reserved honey mixture at 15-minute intervals. (Add more water to drip pan as it evaporates.)
