Wild Game Recipes: Wild Duckby Kendall

This wild duck recipe is taken from an old hillbilly cookbook I borrowed from a friend. I don’t know that my mom will like it very much, as she raises ducks for their eggs. If you’re a hunter though, try this wild duck recipe the next time you get back from a day of fowl hunting.

Wild Duck

5 Jonathan apples
Bacon strips
Ducks (2 mallards)
1 c. raisins
Salt and pepper
Spices

Season ducks with s & p inside and out. Don’t peel apples, instead quarter them and place some apples and some raisins in each duck. Place ducks in roasting pan and put the rest of the apples and raisins around them. Add the spices which you favor. Place bacon strips on each duck. Pour about 1 ½ c. water into the pan. Bake at 350 degrees until tender. Add more water if needed.
