Canard confites - Leg of the duck

It seems to be a family tradition that each time I visit my in laws, or they my little family, that we eat a Duck confit.

A additional tradition since last summer holiday and xmas is that we break the can opener, when trying to pen the quiet stable cans.
Once opened however, the truth goodies are shown, in a huge amount of fat which helps them to stay preserved for at least 6 months.

To checkout the process how the legs are preserved, checkout the wikipedia page
Anyway, once you managed to open the cans you just reheat the legs in a bit of fat and serve them traditionally with some potatoes.
Do not forget to have a good glass of wine with it, traditional French of course a red one !
