Buying Confit de Canard in cans makes the preparation of dinner very easy - i.e. suitable for vacation. Making the ducks from scratch is not difficult ... I'll show this in a Snapguide -from home :-)

This dinner was completed by a lovely peach cake. I found the recipe here on Snapguide - please look for PEACH CROSTATA by Elaina - it is very good and easy for vacation ... http://snp.gd/ta2aoa
