37. Canvas-Back Ducks, Roasted.
Procure two fine fat canvas-back ducks,
pick, singe,
draw, and wipe carefully ; throw a light pinch
of salt
inside, run in the head from the end of the neck
to the
back, truss nicely, and place in a roasting-pan.
Sprinkle
a little salt over, put them in a brisk oven,
and let cook
for eighteen minutes; arrange on a very hot dish,
untruss,
throw two tablespoonfuls of white broth into
each duck,
and serve with six slices of fried hominy and
currant jelly.
