At the end of the cooking time, using a slotted spoon, transfer the pieces of duck to a cutting board. In a small bowl, whisk vinegar, honey, and cornstarch. Take about 1/4 cup of the hot liquid from the slow cooker and add it to the bowl, until blended. Stir cornstarch mixture into the crockpot. Cover, cooking until it thickens, about 10 minutes.
