For the most authentic flavor, use wild duck. If unavailable, a farm-raised duck can be substituted. Adding vinegar to duck blood prevents coagulation. Adjust the amount of sugar and lemon juice to balance the sweetness and acidity according to your preference.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large stock pot, fully submerge the duck in water. Add salt, and bring to a boil, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface. (Approximately 15 minutes)
02
StepCreate a sachet by placing the celery, parsley, allspice, and cloves in a cheesecloth bag. Add the sachet to the stock pot. Cover and simmer over low heat until the duck meat is very tender. (Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes)
03
StepRemove the cheesecloth bag from the pot and set aside. Take out the duck. Discard the bones, chop the meat into bite-sized pieces, and return it to the broth.
04
StepStir in the prunes, raisins, and chopped apple. Allow the soup to simmer, allowing the flavors to meld together. (Approximately 30 minutes)
05
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk the flour and sugar into the cream until smooth. Gradually whisk in the duck blood. Temper the mixture by slowly adding about 1/2 cup of the hot soup stock to the blood mixture, blending until well combined. Carefully pour the blood mixture back into the stock pot, stirring constantly, until the soup gently returns to a simmer. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
06
StepServe hot with home-made noodles.
