I cooked the duck low and slow in the crockpot. It’s been in there for about nine hours I think.

All the meat actually fell off the bones! I have a feeling these are gonna make a good stock.

It was a small duck, only 8 ounces of meat on it.

Oh, man that is going to make some delicious stock! And then soup, if that's what you make with it.

This actually brings to mind a question. How exactly do I make a bone stock out of the bones?

I’m doing research on the Internet, and I’m seeing recipes for chicken and beef. I’m not seeing much for duck.

By the way, I forgot to add that I was able to get the giblets out. I’m gonna use them for gravy on Thanksgiving.

This is where I learned all I know about making bone broth in my Instant Pot.

This has a lot of blah blah and ads before it gets to the how to.

I think the only difference is the Instant Pot does the job in about 2 hours. If I were using a crockpot, I'd do it the same way, but it would cook for a lot longer.

I put the bones in my crock pot, add water/stock to cover, a few peppercorns, and a splash of ACV. I cover and cook on low for 12 hours. I have discovered that bone broth tastes richer if I use a mix of bones, like adding a couple beef neck bones to my chicken or turkey bones. Using a shank ham bone adds a delicious depth to my turkey broth.

I usually use turkey bones for my bone broth, as that's what we have. Occasionally, we get a bone-in ham, and yes, that adds a lot flavor.

For the rest, I add:
black peppercorns
ACV
onions
garlic
carrots
celery.

I save stuff like garlic/onion ends for making broth. Free! I save them in a bag in the freezer.

Jared, That is probably the BEST way to cook a Duck.

Oh, and FYI: if you are using bones from a turkey that was cooked with stuffing in its cavity, rinse them off, thoroughly. Bits of stuffing ruined a whole batch of bone broth one time, made it bitter. I've had celery make the broth bitter, too, so I add it after the initial simmer.

Thank you for sharing. Nice to know. Aria
