Goose Or Duck And Sweet Dressing - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 lb. dressed duck
1 1/2 c. apples, diced
1/3 c. warm water
salt to taste
1 c. prunes, soaked but not cooked
3 Tbsp. butter or fat
3/4 c. tart pie cherries
3 c. bread cubes
juice of 1 orange

Preparation

Melt fat and saute apples until tender; add all other ingredients and cover.
Steam about 8 to 10 minutes.
If cherries are very tart add 1 tablespoon sugar.
Stuff bird and truss.
Bake with breast up until brown, then turn over.
Do not prick skin.
I make a double recipe and tie what is leftover in a cloth and put in the pan with the duck.
