Preheat oven to 220c. Rub the ducks inside and out with salt and pepper and Prick with a fork. Place on a rack over a roasting pan and place in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

Pour boiling water over the shredded cabbage and drain at once then sprinkle it with lemon juice. This helps the cabbage retain it's colour with cooking. In a heavy oven proof pan, cook the pork over a medium heat until it is transparent, then add the onion and cook for a few more minutes. Add the flour and stir well then add all the remaining ingredients, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.

Finally transfer the ducks into the pan with the cabbage, cover and cook for a further 45 minutes on the hob until the duck is tender.
