Domestic ducks are fed corn and soybeans
In 1873, a Yankee Clipper ship brought less than a dozen White Pekin ducks to the United States. This was the beginning of America's domestic duck industry, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Most duck farms are located in Indiana and Wisconsin. You can buy the whole duck or just the legs or breast. A simple way to cook a duck breast is to use a slow cooker, which yields a succulent, tasty meal.
Instructions
1. Remove the peel from the oranges and cut into 1/2 inch pieces.
2. Cut the apple into 1/2 inch pieces, leaving the skin on.
3. Cut the onion into eight pieces.
4. Sprinkle the duck with the 1/2 tsp. of salt, making sure to cover the duck breasts evenly. Sprinkle 1/4 tsp. of pepper evenly over the duck breasts.
5. Place the duck in the cooker and cover with the oranges. Add the apples. Place the onions over the apples in another layer. Pour orange juice concentrate over all the ingredients.
6. Cover the slow cooker and heat on low setting for 8 to 10 hours.
