1 whole duck foie gras, about 1 lb (500g)
1 cup (250 ml) ice cider or icewine
Chicken broth to cover the foie gras
Preparation
Let the foie gras stand at room temperature for about 1 hour.

Remove the dish from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Drain, reserving the marinade.
Wrap the foie gras in a clean tea towel or piece of cheesecloth. Shape it into a cylinder 3 inches (7.5 cm) in diameter. then wrap the tea towel in a long sheet of plastic wrap. Seal tighly by twisting and tying both ends.
In a saucepan, combine the marinade and enough broth to cover the foie gras. Clip a thermometer to the side of the saucepan and heat until the temperature reaches 140°F (60°C). Place the wrapped foie gras in the liquid and poach for 25 minutes, maintaining the temperature at 140°F (60°C).
Remove the foie gras and refrigerate for 24 hours.
