Ingredients
6 duck legs

2 t thyme leaves
1.5 T minced garlic
10 black peppercorns
2 t chopped rosemary
72 fl oz duck fat
Directions
1) Mix the salt, sugar, bay leaf, garlic, peppercorns and rosemary together.
2) Trim excess fat off of the duck legs. Rub cure mixture on the duck legs and then place in a stainless steel pan & press with a weight. Refrigerate for 48 hours.
3) Rinse the duck legs and pat them dry with a towel.
4) Bring the duck fat to a simmer then add the duck legs - simmer for 3 hours or until the leg meat is tender and pulls off the leg easily.
5) Allow the duck to cool slightly and remove the meat from the bone and rough chop it. Place the meat in mason jars and cover the meat with just enough fat to completely cover it. Refrigerate for up to six months.
