MAKE THE CHUTNEY: In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over
medium heat. Cook shallot in hot oil until softened, about
3 minutes.
Stir in pears, cherries, brown sugar, vinegar, ginger,
salt and pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer,
uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes or until slightly
thickened (chutney will thicken as it cools). Cover and
store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
MAKE THE DUCK: Preheat oven to 350++F/175++C.
Rinse duckling body cavity; pat dry. Skewer neck skin to
back; tie legs to tail with 100% kitchen string. Place
duckling, breast-side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan.
Prick skin generously. Season outside and inside of
duckling with salt and pepper. Stuff orange quarters,
garlic and celery into cavity of duck.
Roast duck, uncovered, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the
drumsticks move easily in their sockets. Juices might
still appear pink.
Meanwhile for glaze, in a large saucepan bring pomegranate
juice and sugar to boiling. Cook, uncovered, over medium
heat about 20 minutes or until reduced to 1/2 cup,
stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Stir in chopped
thyme.
Brush glaze over duck several times during the last 30
minutes of roasting. Remove from oven; cover with foil and
let stand for 15 minutes.
Place orange slices on platter; arrange duck on top and
sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and fresh thyme. Serve
duck with Cherry-Pear Chutney.
