1. Preheat the oven to 160°C.

3. Add the flour and cook into the sauce for a few min until thickened. Then add the red wine and stock. Allow it to bubble and come to the boil.
4. Add the duck legs back into the casserole along with 2/3 of the blackberries, the orange slices, cinnamon sticks, star anise, a pinch of Maldon Salt and rosemary sprigs.
5. Cover and transfer to the oven for 1hr 30min. Once cooked, add the remaining blackberries and serve.
6. To make the mash: Add the celeriac to a pan with the stock and milk and bring to the boil. Simmer gently until the celeriac is tender. Mash or pass through a ricer. Stir through a knob of butter and a pinch of Maldon Salt.
7. Serve the duck legs with the celeriac mash and some sautéed greens.
