Geese are as easy to cook as a turkey or big chicken, but with more fat. Brushing on a flavorful syrup near the end of roasting adds a dramatic glaze to the bird.
Ingredients
- 1 10- to 12-lb. domestic goose
- 1 tsp. dried marjoram, crushed
- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
- 1 recipe Herb Glaze or Ginger-Honey Glaze
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Rinse goose; pat dry with paper towels. Remove excess fat from cavity and neck. Sprinkle body cavity and rub the outside of the skin with marjoram and pepper.
- Skewer neck skin to back; tie legs to tail using 100 percent cotton kitchen string. Twist wings under back. Prick entire surface of bird with a fork.
- Place goose, breast side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Insert a meat thermometer into thigh meat (bulb should not touch the bone).
- Roast, uncovered, for 3 to 3-3/4 hours, or until the thermometer registers 180 degrees, drumsticks move easily in sockets, and juices run clear. Using a basting bulb, carefully remove and discard the hot, liquid fat as it accumulates during roasting.
- Baste goose with about 1/3 cup of Herb Glaze or Ginger-Honey Glaze during the last 15 minutes of roasting. Add vinegar or broth to remaining glaze as directed.
- Reheat glaze to serve as a sauce. Cover goose; let stand for 15 minutes before carving.
- To serve, carve goose; pass remaining glaze to drizzle over sliced goose. Makes 12 to 16 servings.
- In a small bowl, stir together 3/4 cup orange marmalade, 1/4 cup snipped fresh flat-leaf parsley, and 1 teaspoon ground black pepper. After glazing goose, stir 1 tablespoon white vinegar into remaining mixture before passing as a sauce.
- In a small saucepan stir together 1 cup honey, 1/4 cup Dijon-style mustard, and 2 to 3 teaspoons grated fresh ginger. Heat through. After glazing goose, stir 1 to 2 tablespoons chicken broth into remaining glaze before passing as a sauce.
