Tis the season for the quackers and I have been seeing a few posts for duck recipes and have had a couple request so thought to add some from my never ending Grandma's box of clippings.

Tasty Bacon Wrapped Duck

10 duck breasts
3 lbs bacon
2 jars banana pepper rings
italian dressing
Soak the breasts in water to remove the blood. Repeat a few times to make sure all of the blood is removed.

Drain and pat dry.

Cut the breasts into 1" cubes. Cut the bacon slices in half.

Place a pepper slice on each meat cube and wrap with a slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick.

Grill over medium heat basting with the dressing until the bacon is done


Hot Duck Burners

2 – 4 duck breasts
1 cup Italian dressing
1/2 bottle soy sauce
1/2 bottle Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic salt
jalapeno peppers, sliced
bacon

In a bowl, combine the dressing, soy sauce, Worcestershire and garlic salt. Mix well.

Slice the breasts into strips or chunks. Place in marinade, cover and refrigerate overnight.

Remove the duck and drain.

Place a slice of pepper on each strip. Wrap with a half slice of bacon. Secure with toothpicks.

Place on skewers.

Place on hot grill and cook over low heat until bacon is cooked and duck is done

Duck Gumbo

2 wild ducks, skinned and cut up
1/2 cup cooking oil
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 lb smoked venison sausage, sliced
2 cups chopped onion
1 1/2 cups chopped green pepper
1 1/2 cups sliced celery
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 can stewed tomatoes
2 bay leaves
2 tbsp Worchestire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 quarts water
hot cooked rice
tabasco sauce

In a Dutch oven over medium heat, brown duck in pieces a few at a time in oil. Remove and set aside. Discard all but 2/3 cup drippings.

Add flour to drippings; cook and stir over medium heat till brown, 12-14 minutes.

Add sausage, onion, green pepper, celery and garlic. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add next 8 ingredients, mix well.

Add duck, bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 60-75 minutes or till duck is tender. Remove duck. Cool.

Remove meat from bone and cut into chunks; return to pan. Simmer 5-10 minutes or until heated through.

Remove the bay leaves.

Serve with rice.

Wine Cooler Wild Duck

duck(s) or goose
apples, chopped
onions, chopped
poultry seasoning or garlic salt
berry flavored wine coolers, any variation
Stuff the inside of the bird(s) with the chopped apples and onions. Sprinkle on the poultry seasoning or garlic salt.

Place bird in a counter top roaster.

Fill the roaster with the wine coolers until the bird is half covered.

Cover and roast at 250 or 300 degrees for at least 4 hours. Time will vary depending on the size of the bird or quantity. Bird is done when you can grab a leg and it pulls off.
