Hello Bill,
I could not locate the particular recipe that you describe. The below recipe was the
closest that I could find. Below that is a separate recipe for liver stuffing.
Perhaps you can combine the two.
Phaed
** Lingonberry Roast Duckling **
5.5 to 6 lb duckling
3/4 cup lingonberry jam
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup sherry
1/2 cup hard apple cider
10 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp ancho chile powder
1/4 Tbsp lemon juice
1 to 2 tsp Tabasco pepper sauce, to taste
1/2 of a large onion
2 1/2 Tbsp honey
1/2 cup chopped scallion (green onion)
3 cups additional hard apple cider
Rinse/wash and dry the duckling, removing
any giblets, etc, that are inside (use the
giblets to make an excellent broth, another
time* - you can freeze them for later use,
if necessary).
In a bowl, combine the jam, soy sauce,
sherry, hard cider, garlic, lemon juice, and
Tabasco.
Pour 1/2 cup of the jam mixture into the
inside of the duck and roll the duck around
to coat the inside; place on roasting rack
in the roasting pan.
A quarter of a cup at a time and making sure
all of the skin becomes wet from the glaze
(and a good number of lingonberries remain
on the skin of the duck), pour most of the
rest of the jam mixture onto the duck,
reserving about 1/4 of a cup; let the duck
sit for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Remove the outer skin from the onion half,
then cut it into quarters; stuff the duck
with the onion pieces.
Combine the reserved lingonberry sauce with
the honey; pour the honey/sauce over the
duck (get some inside, too, and try not to
dislodge too many lingonberries), then
drizzle with sprinkle with the chopped green
onions.
Roast at 350 degrees F uncovered for 1 hour,
basting occasionally with drippings, then add
the hard cider to the bottom of the roasting
pan; roast covered for an additional hour,
basting occasionally.
Serve with rice pilaf or wild rice, and
vegetables.
*To make an excellent dark broth: take 4
cups water, the giblets from the duck (neck,
heart, liver, kidney), the onion that was
inside the roasted duck, and the roasting
pan drippings (and any leftover bits of
roasted duck you're willing to use, such as
the wings) and put it all in a crockpot on
low for 8 hours; strain well and refrigerate
for use within 3 or 4 days, or put into ice
cube trays and freeze.

Hi Judy,
Well, the scarcity of Squirt is sort of a mystery. The Squirt brand is now owned
by Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc., a subsidiary of Cadbury Schweppes plc of London, England.
I did not find any statement anywhere that it has been discontinued, nor one that
it's distribution has been curtailed.
However, from reading laments on message boards from people who can't find it
anymore, it does appear that the distribution of this 67-year-old soda has been
limited to certain areas. I found a message saying that Squirt was available at
Kroger's, at least in the Southeast. It might also be available at Wal-Mart
Supercenters. If those are not accessible for you or don't have Squirt in your
area, then these sites advertise it for sale online:
Homer's Soda
Squirt
Soda Pop Central

Hi Keely,
A frosting expert I'm not.... But see the below recipe. It sounds right.
Phaed
Brown Sugar Frosting
Ingredients :
2 c. firmly packed light brown sugar
6 tbsp. heavy cream
1/4 c. (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 c. sifted confectioners' sugar
Preparation :
Place all ingredients for the frosting except the vanilla and the
confectioners' sugar into a large saucepan and slowly bring to a
rolling boil over medium heat, stirring all the while. Remove pan
from heat and stir in the vanilla and then the confectioners' sugar.
Pour frosting onto the top of the cake and let run down the sides.
This frosting tends to set rather quickly, so don't try to spread it
with a spatula. It will look best if allowed to flow naturally.
Serve 12 to 14.
