This is not a quick recipe.  It will take you a week to do, but the results are stunning.  Salty, sweet, smoky.  I should have made more, but I ran out of duck.  I hope you like it.

2 skin-on duck breasts

8 tsp Kosher salt

Black pepper to taste

1/2 cup real maple syrup

Apple wood chips soaked in water

In an airtight plastic container, place duck breasts; cover both sides with 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt

Coat with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup

Repeat process every day for 5 days

On the 6th day rinse and dry

Coat with pepper to taste

Smoke for 1 hour at 250
