Ingredients

How to make it

  • wash ducks well and pluck out all the leftover feather plums.
  • salt inside of duck while preparing the stuffing and let sit.
  • cut all the fruit up into chunks and put in a bowl to mix.add raisins and onion too.
  • add enough honey to coat all of the fruit and stir well.
  • take the ducks and rinse the salt from the inside.
  • stuff the ducks with the fruit mixture and place on rack in a roaster, this needs to be done cause ducks are very greasey.
  • in bottom of roaster, add some apple juice and ginger ale, this will be the basting juice for the ducks while baking.
  • Place in oven at 375 degrees with the lid on and roast til you see the meat is tender and easy to seperate from bone, you want it to be very tender, you might want to see if you can seperate a drumstick easily.
  • during baking time , baste the ducks often, getting all the juices to flow over ducks well.
  • when ducks are done, take off lid and mix the orange marmalade and packets and some orange juice and put some on the top of ducks, cover all areas.
  • bake another 10 to 15 minutes til ducks are golden brown.
  • cook the remainder glaze on top of stove till bubbly, remove from heat and use as dipping sauce for the duck meat.
  • enjoy !!!!

    part 2:

    Side comments, now, Kristi says besides the dipping sauce I should use the fruits as a quick chutney at the end. Effie says she wishes she could enrobe the duck in dark chocolate and strawberry and too bad you can't make a duck confit with these flavors. Overall I believe from the comments that dinner went well. And i just got cracked in the head, so yes your recipes went over extremely well. Dessert was a chocolate whiskey truffle cake compliments of Effie.A few more bottles of wine are calling to us while my printer does it's work. So, from many a happy soul, great recipes and hear the applause in the background??Bill

    Not sure if you would get the comments on your front page before they disappeared so here is what I wrote there:
    I have 7 people hanging over my shoulder holding me hostage until I let them comment on the euro potatoes from tonights meal. (2 of the guys are in love with you Jeff and Tony). 6 are going home with the recipes for the entire dinner ere'go my being on the computer and mentioning where they came from and the rest is in print before you. The 7th lives here and has me so she doesn't need a recipe. Comments are: Divine, outstanding, mouth tickling and tummy pleasing, pretty damn great, nothing short of fabulous and too bad you can't put chocolate on them they were unbelievable, OMG they were so good, and from me unbelievably scumptious. Now for the comments on the duck.Commetns on the duck: OMG heaven, crunchiness and flavor at it's best, so soft and full of flavor not greasy, marry me #1, marry me #2 (from Jeff and Tony again), this is a definite aphrodisiac, sheer heaven, and from me nothing short of spectacular. Part 2 to follow.

    We love duck. Most of the time, however, I have cooked wild duck! However it is not the same.





    We love duck, and I will cook this soon. Thanks so much for this marvelous recipe!
