2 ducks cleaned and roasted
1 orange, sliced
2 cups orange juice
Cornstarch for thickening
1 cup sugar

Wash ducks well. Then marinate Birds in buttermilk to tenderize the meat and get rid of the strong flavor. Stuff them with apple, orange, celery, and onion. You may cook the birds slowly at 350 degrees F or quickly at 450 degrees F. Be sure to baste often with a mixture of butter and wine or butter and broth. The time required will depend on the size of the bird and the desired amount of doneness. Ducks will require 20-30 minutes at 450 degrees F. and 1 to 1 1/2 hours at 350 degrees F. A goose will take 15-30 minutes longer than duck.

Remove cooked ducks from oven and quarter. Pour orange juice into saucepan. Bring to boil, add sugar and stir 5-6 times. Reduce heat to medium and thicken to medium sauce with cornstarch. Remove from stove; add orange slices. Pour over quartered ducks. Serves 8.
