3. When the duck is almost done, prepare the sauce: combine fresh pitted cherries (frozen is fine), cranberries, sugar, and spices. Add the cherry juice (50 ml) in which the duck was marinated. Cook over medium heat for 6-7 minutes until thickened. If it doesn't thicken, add corn starch. Strain the sauce before serving.
4. Remove the cooked duck legs from the oil and fry them in the oven for a few more minutes, increasing the temperature to 356°F (180°C) until golden brown.
5. Place the duck legs on a serving plate, pour the sauce over them, and enjoy the tender duck meat, complemented by the sweet and sour sauce.
