Braised Muscovy Duck

• 1 whole duck, Muscovy
• 1 1/4 cups beer, dark
• 2 onions, cut up
• 2 carrots, cut up
• 2 apples, cut up
• 1 cabbage, small head, cut up
• 1/2 cup dried cherries
• 10 dried apricots
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground

1. Cranberries can be used instead of cherries. Place all ingredients in a crockpot set on low, a covered roaster in a 200* oven, or a large heavy-bottomed pot on a very low burner, for approximately 12 hours, until the meat falls off the bone. To speed things up, start the crockpot on high or the other pots on a medium burner until the liquid begins to simmer, then cook as directed. If your pot doesn't have room for all the ingredients, the cabbage can be cooked separately, preferably in the pot liquor. Goes best with potatoes or noodles, and would probably be wonderful with spaetzle.
