¼ cup water
4 pears, cored and quartered

Over medium heat, stir until the glaze has warmed through and becomes smooth.
Remove from the heat.
Pat duck dry well with paper towel and place on top of the fennel and pear.
Using a pastry brush, glaze the duck all overusing half of the glaze.
Roast in the oven for 1 hr. 20 min - 1 hr. 30 min depending on the size of the duck.
Halfway through cooking time, glaze duck with the rest of the glaze mix.
Allow to rest for 15 minutes before carving.
Serve with the roasted pear and fennel as a delicious side dish!
