  1. In 4-quart saucepan, heat 2 inches water to            
  boiling. Add carrots and parsnips; cover and return       
  water to boiling. Simmer root vegetables over low heat    
  15 minutes to partially cook. Remove root vegetables      
  with slotted spoon to a small baking pan (Set aside       
  pan of cooking water.) Add oil, 1/8 t salt, and 1/8       
  teaspoon pepper to vegetables; toss and set aside.        
                                                            
  2. Remove necks, giblets, and discard any fat from        
  duck cavities. Rinse ducks, necks, and giblets; pat       
  dry. To reserved pan of cooking water, add necks and      
  giblets of ducks and remaining salt and pepper. Heat      
  to boiling; simmer covered, over low heat 45 minutes.     
                                                            
  3. Heat oven to 400'F. Insert 2 apple quarters into       
  neck and body cavities of each duck; twist wings back     
  and under ducks to hold neck skin in place. Tie legs      
  of each duck together. With fork, pierce breast skin.     
  Arrange ducks, breast sides down, on wire rack in         
  large roasting pan. Roast ducks 15 minutes with pan of    
  root vegetables. Turn ducks and continue to roast 15      
  to 25 minutes longer or until breast meat is set but      
  still red and moist when cut in the center of the         
  thickest part.                                            
                                                            
  4. Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, heat cranberry         
  juice, wine, sugar, and cloves to boiling. Add pears;     
  cover and return to boiling. Simmer pears over low        
  heat 7 to 10 minutes or just until fork tender.           
  Transfer pears to plate. Strain and reserve 3 /4 C        
  pear poaching liquid.                                     
                                                            
  5. Drain juices from body cavities of ducks into          
  roasting pan. Discard apple quarters. Transfer ducks      
  and root vegetables to platter; cover and keep warm.      
  Pour giblet broth into roasting pan; heat to boiling,     
  stirring to loosen browned-on bits. Strain broth          
  mixture into large measuring cup; discard fat on top      
  and pour 3/4 C broth into skillet. Add onion and cook     
  over high heat 1 minute. Add 3/4 C reserved pear          
  poaching liquid. Boil rapidly until mixture is reduced    
  to about 2 /3 C or a syrupy consistency. Turn heat to
