Duck score

[atomicsmoke]

Got some more ducks....in a row. Two large farm ducks and one (local) store bought.

Carcasses...one goes straight into the stockpot

Great to see you got your Ducks in a Row!!:)

I haven't had Duck in many years, since My Dad & I used to shoot wild ducks pretty regular.

I never bought any, but I've often been tempted, remembering how good the Wild ones were, and they weren't even Smoked. "Like" the memories!

One thing will be different. I promisse not to trash the smoked breast this time.

Wings cooked enough for pulling. I will store the meat with fat, for a nice Christmas rillette.

 

[atomicsmoke]

And the legs are ready too

One fell apart...was from the smaller store duck....it cooked faster....duh

That's ok....will use it for rillette...can't have too much

 

[atomicsmoke]

Ofcourse....cracklings...as a tasty byproduct...i fried the farm duck skin separately...
These are from the store duck...the other one gone before i could take a pic

And this is the fat rendered from the farm ducks...saved for some tasty breakfasts
