Meat from 4 to 8 ducks
Dale's or Moore's marinade
2 to 4 TB butter
2 to 4 TB olive oil, plus more for cooking
1/2 to 1 cup minced shallots
1/4 to 1/2 cup dried cherries, chopped
1 to 2 jalapeños (or more), seeded & finely chopped, optional
2 to 4 TB cognac or brandy
Salt & pepper, to taste
Egg roll wrappers
1 to 2 eggs, beaten

Steps:

Marinate the duck meat while you chop the shallots, cherries, & jalapeños. Coarsely chop the duck meat then cook in a frying pan with oil over medium heat until done. Drain, then shred in a food processor. Heat 2 to 4 TB each butter & olive oil in pan. Add shallots, cherries, & jalapeños, cooking until softened. Stir in shredded duck. Add cognac or brandy, cooking until dissolved. Season with salt & pepper. Place an egg roll wrapper on a plate or cutting board. Spread 1 to 2 TB of meat mixture across the bottom. The amount depends on how thick you want the cigars. A thinner cigar is best for an appetizer, so use 1 TB of meat. For a meal, use 2 TB meat. Fold the left side over about 1 inch, then fold the bottom over the filling. Continue to roll to form a cigar shape with one open end & one closed end. Seal with egg wash. Lightly brown in oil in a pan OR spray cigars with cooking spray & bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Serve with salsa.
