Ingredients

  • ¼ cup salt
  • 8 cups water
  • 12 duck breast halves
  • 12 slices bacon
  • 1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian-style salad dressing
  • toothpicks

Directions

Step 1
Mix together salt and water. Set aside 2/3 of the mixture, and pour the rest into a glass baking dish. Soak the duck in the salt water overnight to remove the gamey. Change the salt water twice, or until mostly clear.

Step 2
The next morning, discard the salt water, and pour salad dressing over the duck breasts, and marinate for at least 8 hours.

Step 3
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Wrap each breast half in one strip of bacon, and secure with a toothpick. Place the breasts in a 9×13 inch baking dish.

Step 4
Bake for about 1 hour, or until bacon is crisp, and duck is cooked through.
