Return the seared duck pieces to the pot. Add the chicken or duck broth, ground allspice, thyme, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and brown sugar. If using rum, add it now. Stir everything to combine.

Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer gently for at least 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the duck is very tender. Stir occasionally.

Once the duck is tender, remove the lid and continue to simmer for another 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.

💡 Profesjonelle tips
- ✓For a deeper flavor, marinate the duck pieces in the spices and rum for at least 30 minutes (or overnight) before searing.
- ✓Adjust the amount of Scotch bonnet pepper to your spice preference. Removing the seeds and membranes will reduce the heat.
- ✓If the sauce is too thin, you can create a slurry with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the simmering sauce until thickened.
