- 1 cup Fig Preserves [2]
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 tablespoonÃs SteenÃs 100% Pure Cane Syrup
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

- 6 ribs celery, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 8 garlic cloves

Directions
- Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor and process until coarsely pureed. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 450?F.
- Line the roasting pan with aluminum foil.
- Season the ducks with the rub. Toss the apples, celery, and garlic with the salt and pepper in a mixing bowl to coat evenly. Stuff the cavities of the ducks with the apple mixture. Place the ducks on a rack in the roasting pan and roast for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven.
