Ingredients
1 (5 pound) whole duck, neck and giblets reserved
1 (6 ounce) can orange juice concentrate, thawed, divided
1 teaspoon minced garlic
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 onion, coarsely chopped, divided
1 cup raisins
1 apple - peeled, cored, and cut into chunks (optional)
1 large carrot, thickly sliced
Basting sauce:
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup lemon juice (see Cook's Note)
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Duck Stock:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 carrot, thickly sliced
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup lemon juice (see Cook's Note)
1 cup orange juice
1 sprig fresh parsley, chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon sour cream

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Rinse the duck, remove any pieces of excess fat from around the cavity, and prick the duck's skin all over with a fork or sharp skewer, being careful not to puncture the meat.
Rub the skin of the duck and inside the duck cavity with 1 tablespoon of orange juice concentrate. Rub 1 teaspoon of minced garlic inside and outside the duck, and sprinkle the duck, inside and outside, with salt and pepper.
Mix together about 2 tablespoons of chopped onion, the raisins, and apple in a bowl, and lightly stuff the cavity of the duck with the raisin mixture. Truss the duck, and place it onto a rack set in a roasting pan. Scatter the remaining chopped onion and slices of large carrot in the roasting pan around the duck.
To make basting mixture, whisk together remaining orange juice concentrate, 1/2 cup of chicken broth, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and salt and pepper in a bowl.
Roast the duck in the preheated oven for 1 hour, basting occasionally with the basting mixture. After 1 hour, pour off the rendered fat, and roast, basting occasionally, until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 more hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 165 degrees F ( 74 degrees C). Reserve any left-over basting mixture.
While the duck is roasting, prepare duck stock. Heat olive oil in a saucepan, and brown the reserved neck and giblets over medium heat. Stir in 1 onion, 2 garlic cloves, and 1 carrot, and cook and stir until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup lemon juice, orange juice, parsley, and salt and pepper, bring to a boil, and cover. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour; strain the stock and set aside.
Remove the duck from the oven and place on a warm platter. Arrange cooked vegetables around the duck, if desired. Remove stuffing to a serving bowl. Let the duck rest about 15 minutes before carving.
While the duck is resting, finish the sauce. Skim fat out of the roasting pan, and pour reserved basting mixture into the pan, stirring and scraping to dissolve the brown bits of flavor from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, and stir in the reserved duck stock. Bring back to a boil, and cook the sauce down by about half, stirring constantly to prevent burning, about 10 minutes. Whisk in sour cream to make a smooth, glossy sauce. Pour the sauce over the carved duck to serve.

6 cups Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
10 tablespoons quick cooking oats
6 tablespoons butter

Directions

To make the crust, beat 1/2 cup of butter with cream cheese in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until thoroughly combined; scrape the sides of mixing bowl occasionally to incorporate all the butter and cream cheese.

Form it into a ball, and flatten it into a 6-inch disk; fold the right side of the paper over the dough disk, covering the dough. With the rolling pin on top of the paper, gently roll the dough out into a round crust about 1/8-inch thick; peel off the top half of the waxed paper, turn the dough out onto the prepared pie dish, and fit the dough into the dish. Peel of the remaining portion of waxed paper.
