Goose recipes
information
Geese and most wild fowl are greasy and need to be prepared properly. First puncture holes in the skin all over the goose and place in a roasting pan with enough room to catch the grease. Roast in a pre heated oven 375°F (190°C) for 45 - 60 mins, turning the goose over after 30 minutes to avoid burning.
Remove from oven and allow to cool. When cool enough to handle, drain the roasting pan and using paper towels pat the bird all over to remove grease, inside and outside. If you wish to, stuff the goose and baste with orange juice and honey sauce (1 cup orange juice and 1/4 cup honey).
Return the goose to the oven at 325°F(165°C) and cook for 25 mins / lb, less 45 minutes, basting every 30 minutes. The drumsticks should separate fairly easily from the goose and the juices run clear.
