Ingredients
- 1 duckling, about 5 lbs.
- Salt & pepper
- 2 oranges
- 1/2 c. consomme
- 1/2 c. dry white wine
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- Thin slices of unpeeled orange
Directions
Sprinkle body cavity of duckling with salt & pepper. Truss bird and put on rack in shallow roasting pan. Peel oranges and cut in quarters. Scrape white pulp from peel and cut enough peel in thin strips to make 1 tablespoonful. Add to duck with the consomee. Roast uncovered in preheated slow oven (325) for about 3 hours, basting occasionally with some of the liquid in the bottom of the pan. When duck is done, remove to hot platter. Pour off all but 1/2 c. of the liquid. Add wine to 1/2 c. liquid. Blend cornstarch with small amount of cold water and stir into sauce. Cook, stirring, until thickened. Pour over duckling. Garnish with orange slices.
4 servings. (Hope this is the one you want.)
