## **Smoked Goose or Duck Breasts**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Brine Ingredients
|
|
|
|
- One quart apple cider (Juice is OK too)
|
|
- 1/4 cup of kosher salt or 3 tbs. of canning salt
|
|
- 2 bay leaves - crushed
|
|
- 1 clove of garlic - crushed
|
|
- 1/2 teaspoon Peppercorns - cracked or 1 tbsp ground black pepper
|
|
|
|
## Goose or Duck
|
|
|
|
1 to 1.5 lb of duck or goose breasts - skinless
|
|
|
|
## Container
|
|
|
|
Glass is best, plastic (Tupperware) is OK too
|
|
|
|
## Process
|
|
|
|
- Mix all ingredients - making sure the salt dissolves.
|
|
- Soak duck or goose for at least 2 hours, but 12 hours is best.
|
|
- After brining, rinse duck or goose and pat dry with paper towels.
|
|
- Place in 210 - 215 degree smoker - I prefer pecan or alder wood, but hickory or oak work fine as well (they're just a little stronger).
|
|
- Smoke for 4.5 - 5 hours. Allow to cool a bit, and put into the refrigerator.
|
|
|
|
## Eat
|
|
|
|
- Eat it cold.
|
|
- Slice thin for Charcuterie with a game sauce like Bronco Bob's Raspberry Chipotle Sauce!
|
|
- Slice thin for sandwiches with cheese, mustard and mayo.
|
|
- Lasts a week or so.
