4 1/2 pound duckling 2 Tbsp onion, minced 1/4 tsp tarragon 2 Tbsp butter 1/2 cup orange juice 1/8 tsp salt 1/8 tsp dry mustard 1/4 cup currant jelly 2 Tbsp grated orange peel 2 Tbsp port wine 1 orange, peeled and sectioned 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch With a fork, prick skin of duckling all over at approximately 2 inch intervals. Place duckling, breast side up, on metal rack or trivet in crockpot. In saucepan, saute onion and tarragon leaves in butter. Add orange juice, salt, mustard, currant jelly, and orange peel. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until jelly is melted. Reduce heat; stir in wine and orange sections. Brush 1/3 of the sauce over duck; cover crockpot and cook on low 7-9 hours. During cooking drain fat and turn duck once, if possible. Stir remaining sauce into cornstarch and cook over medium heat until sauce thickens, then simmer 1 minute. Pour sauce over duck just before serving. To lower the fat content somewhat, pour the sauce off the meat and refrigerate until fat rises to the top. Skim off the fat and reheat before serving. Ducking may be cut into halves or quarters to fit into 3 1/2 quart or smaller crockpot.
