Re: Fish eating ducks?
Mother in-law is here and she told me this. Cut up the duck skin and fat off. Cut a piece of onion and put it on the bottom of the mason jar. In Newfoundland they add a chunk of salt pork fat. Here what I use instead is some pork belly(1in. by 1/4in.) and add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to a 500ml (if not using salted pork fat)size mason jar.Fill the jar with duck/turr to an inch of the lid. Add pepper to taste.
It's a good idea to use new seals every time you're bottling meat. I think it's like $2 for a dozen lids. place the lids on just snug but not tight. You want to the gas to be able to escape. Place the jars in the canning pot/ pressure cooker and fill the with water up to the neck of the jar.
If using a canning pot bring to a light boil for 4 hours. If using a pressure cooker 1 1/2 hours.
