Canvas-Back Ducks Roasted. (Mexican, Delmonico) Procure two fine, fat canvas-back ducks ; pick, singe, draw well, and wipe neatly ; 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 tablespeonfuls of white broth into each duck, and serve with six slices of fried hominy and currant jelly

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
