Red Wine-braised Duck Legs With Sour Cherries
  1. For duck, heat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over high heat. Season the duck with salt and pepper. Place duck, skin-side down in batches if necessary, in a single layer in the skillet. Cook until skin is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Turn (using caution as the duck fat splatters a lot); cook 5 minutes. Remove legs to a platter; discard fat in skillet.

  2. Add wine to the skillet; cook over medium heat, stirring to scrape up browned bits, to reduce by half, about 15 to 20 minutes. Add the garlic, ½ cup of the dried fruit and the thyme. Place duck on top of the fruit. Add the broth; heat to a simmer. Place the skillet in the oven. Cover; braise until the meat begins to separate from the bone, about 2 hours.
