1/2 cup duck fat
2 cup celery, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 pound duck confit
2 loaves brioche, toasted
1 cup dried apricots, chopped and soaked in whiskey

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a large skillet, melt the duck fat over medium heat. Sauté the celery and onion for 10 minutes. In the same skillet, add the duck confit and warm. Add the toasted brioche, apricots, pecans, and apples.
Mix in the melted butter, chicken broth, and sage; the stuffing should be totally moistened. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover, and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Serve.
