Confit is delicious but a bit of a ball ache to make.

Roast them really slowly in oven, lots of garlic and pepper, the fat that comes out you can keep for roast potatoes. Confit of duck leg is lovely and keeps in fridge for ages. Get a recipe online.

I think that might take a bit longer than I want. There's a French restaurant near here that always has confit duck on the menu. It's delicious!

Thank you. I'm veering towards the slow roast or braised option.

What hasn't arrived yet? The duck or the slow cooker?

I bought a slow cooker from Wilkinsons (3.5 ltre) the other day and am in the middle of chopping up all the veg to chuck in it to make a beef stew. It's just the dumplings that I'm dreading doing as they always seem to turn out like cannonballs when I make them

Iceland, but Aldi is closer..

Pour boiling water over them, then dry.

Coat with a mix of soy and honey, wrap in greaseproof and roast low and slow for a couple of hours. Unwrap, turn the oven all the way up and crisp the skin for 15 minutes..

Braise them in a pan then the owen. Add some butter to the pan add a good splash of red wine (dry) some sweetening for a nice sauce.

You would have to wait a couple of months if you're starting with fresh legs I would think lol!!

Done it overnight myself loads of times.

The secret, if there is one, is to cool it down fast before putting it in the fridge. Normally i just put in a sealed glass jar and run it under a cold tap until it's cold enough to bung in the fridge.

What hasn't arrived yet? The duck or the slow cooker?

Both, the slow cooker is coming from a well known on line retailer and the duck's walking

Do you make your dumplings with suet or margarine, how big are they and how long do you cook them for? Btw cement isn't an ingredient

Right! I browned them first, placed them on top of some potatoes and cooked them for 90 mins. After that I took the spuds out, poured on a tin of black cherries in syrup, thickened it, seasoned it and served with carrots and mushrooms.

Delicious!

Fascinating eh!?

Use suet, and should be ping-pong ball sized when raw, as they puff up. If I make a casserole, they go in for the last 45 mins.

Or you could make a suet pastry lid...

Some are, some aren't. We used to keep Mallards and Aylesburys, the Aylesburys drowned all the Mallard ducklings
