This Slow Cooker Sweet Duck Legs recipe is great for a weeknight dinner. Duck meat, cooked in a slow cooker, is so tender it falls off the bone. The sweetness from the prunes, apricots, and pears is such a nice addition to the meat.
In a small mixing bowl stir together the soy sauce, paprika, dried parsley, and salt.
Pat the duck legs dry with a paper towel and place them in the slow cooker. Pour the mixture over the meat, and rub the duck legs with the seasoning until fully seasoned.
Top with the apricots, prunes, and sliced pears.
Cover with lid and set the slow cooker on low for 6 hours. The juice that's left in the slow cooker can work as a gravy over a side dish.
Notes
Choose fresh, high-quality duck legs for the best flavor and texture. Look for legs that are plump and have a good amount of meat on them.
Don't forget to pat the meat dry.
Make sure not to overcrowd the slow cooker to allow proper circulation of heat and ensure even cooking.
