To Roast Ducks

Ingredients

• 1 duck, plucked and cleaned
• Stuffing (same as for goose, with extra bread)
• Coarse sea salt
• Rich brown gravy

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Stuff the duck with the prepared stuffing.

3. Place the duck in the oven, about 2 feet from the heat source.

4. Baste the duck frequently while roasting.

5. Roast for 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size and age of the duck.

6. Check for doneness by ensuring the breast is plump.

7. Serve with rich brown gravy.
