Pato Tim

Ingredients:
1 whole duck, dressed
1 liter Sprite or 7 up
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp salt
5 cloves garlic
3 bay leaves
1 tsp peppercorns, crushed
1/2 cup onion leaves (cut into 1 inch long)
lemon grass
1 can pineapple tid bits
2 pcs carrots

Directions:

1. Stuff duck with lemon grass.
2. Mix remaining ingredients in a pot and cook duck over medium heat.
3. Cook until duck is tender. Simmer until sprite mixture thickens.
4. You can add a cup of coconut vinegar (Tuba) if you are using Sprite/7 Up and wants your Patotin have a reddish color
5. You can also use Coke instead of Sprite/7 Up. Don't add Tuba as Coke will already give your dish a redish tint.
6. Don’t cook over high heat especially towards the last part of cooking. This may make your sauce bitter.
7. Adjust measurements according to your taste preference.
