Wild Duck
When the duck is ready dressed, put in it a small onion, pepper, salt, and a spoonful of red wine. Lay in a pan with water enough to make the gravy. Cook in fifteen or twenty minutes, if the fire is brisk. Serve with gravy made as for wild turkey.
Canvas-back ducks are cooked in the same way, only you leave on their heads and do not use onion with them.--Mrs. R. L. O.
