Shanna's Honeyed Duck

4 ducks or 1 lg. goose
1 tsp. basil
1 tsp. ginger
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. honey
1 stick margarine
1/2 c. orange juice
2 tsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. dry mustard

Mix together basil, ginger and salt. Mix together in saucepan, honey, margarine, juices and dry mustard; boil for 3 minutes. Put about 1 teaspoon of basil mixture inside of each duck and rub any left over on the outside. Stuff ducks with orange slices. Pour half the honey mixture over the ducks in roaster. Cover and roast at 400 degrees for a half hour. Reduce heat to 350 degrees, turn ducks breast down and roast, basting occasionally with the rest of the honey mixture until ducks are very tender, about 2 1/2 hours. You may wish to turn breast side up for the last half hour to brown
