Preheat the oven to 250 °F. Fill a can with water to provide weight, gently place the duck on the can in an upright position, and bake it with the door slightly open to allow airflow. Roast the duck for 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Increase the oven temperature to 400 °F, and continue cooking with the door slightly cracked for an additional 20 to 30 minutes. Rotate the duck halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Chop the plums, leaving the skin on, and place them in a medium saucepan. Then, add honey, rice vinegar, sugar, and wine to the saucepan. Place the saucepan on the stove over medium-high heat and let it boil for about seven minutes or until the fruit is soft and syrup-like consistency.

Remove all the crispy skin from the duck and place it on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Cut the duck skin to match the width of the breast and thighs, and layer the skin on top of the meat.
