Stewed Ducks.
Clean, wash, and truss neatly, but do not stuff the ducks. Put into a broad saucepan, such as is generally known as a braising-pan. Strew with a little onion; pour over them a cupful of weak broth made by boiling the giblets in a pint of water and reducing one-half. Season this well, and when you have poured it upon the ducks, cover the saucepan and cook gently an hour and a half or until the ducks are tender. Turn them when half done. Take up when ready; keep hot while you strain and thicken the gravy with browned flour. Pour a little over the ducks, the rest into a boat.
