Marinate the Duck: Place the duck in a large container and cover with Marinade ingredients. Marinate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator.
Sear the Duck: Remove the duck from the marinade and pat dry. Season with Salt and Black Pepper. Sear the duck in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until browned on all sides.
Braise the Duck: Add Braising Liquid ingredients to the Dutch oven. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2-2.5 hours, or until the duck is very tender.
Prepare the Sauce: Remove the duck from the Dutch oven and set aside. Strain the braising liquid, discarding the solids. In a saucepan, melt Butter over medium heat. Whisk in Flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the strained braising liquid and bring to a simmer. Stir in Fig Jam and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Finish and Serve: Return the duck to the sauce and heat through. Serve with your favorite sides.
