Duck Soup (Czarnina)
I copied this recipe from a xeroxed copy of a typewritten booklet that my mom was lucky enough to receive. I have tried to keep Aunt Lil’s exact wording, and have only occasionally changed punctuation or notation styles. I will go over the collection later, when I have time (hah!) and clarify some of the more vague bits for those who have been lucky enough to run across this and the other “Aunt Lil” recipes without having had the good fortune to have grown up eating these dishes and/or watching them be prepared.
Ingredients:
- 8 qts. water
- 1 to 4 lbs duck
- 1/2 to 1 pt. mixture of blood and vinegar
- vinegar and sugar
- flour
- prunes
- raisins
Cut duck in pieces, bring to boil and skim off top. Cook for 30 minutes on med. heat. Add raisins and prunes to your taste, or 1 cup raisins and 1 1/2 cups prunes. Continue cooking. Pour blood and vinegar mixture in bowl. Add flour slowly to mixture so there are no lumps. Then slowly add hot broth from soup to mixture, mixing constantly adding until mixture is hot. Add this slowly back into kettle with duck. Cook until all ingredients are tender, mixing occasionally so prunes and raisins do not stick to the bottom. The duck soup may be served with cooked potatoes and noodles. I like both. It also may be frozen but not with the potatoes.
