Christmas goose in the oven with honey and fruit

6 servings
6 hours

1. Let's start with preparing the goose. We cut off his wings and get rid of excess fat in the guzza area. It is also very important to remove the musk glands of the goose, so that the smell is not too harsh.

2. Next, we prepare the marinade. Grind the black and pink peppercorns with peas. Add 3 pinches of salt and olive oil for spice bonding. We coat the goose with this mixture (also from the inside).

3. Let's start preparing the mixture for stuffing the goose. We cut half the quince, a whole orange into a cube and a green apple. Add dried apricots and prunes to the cubes. Salt our sweet stock and add 1 pinch of duck spices. We fill our goose mixture.

4. Now we have to sew up our goose. To do this, we will need wooden skewers and thread. Pierce horizontally with the skewers of the goose and wrap around the thread. The hood can be tucked inside. To prevent the limbs and neck of the goose from burning, you need to wrap them in foil. Place our goose in the sleeve and leave to marinate for 2-3 hours.

5. How much to cook our goose? The principle is very simple: how much kg the goose weighs, so much we will cook it. (we cook 4 hours in the sleeve, fry 1 hour).

6. After 4 hours, we take out the goose, take it out of the sleeve and drain the fat. We use some of the fat for the ruddy crust. We lay out the goose on a baking sheet and coat with a mixture of fat and honey. Put in the oven for 15-20 min

7. While the goose cools, we'll make cranberry sauce. We grind cranberries together with water in a blender and bring them to a boil. Add salt, honey and spices for goose to boiling cranberries. Our sauce is ready!

8. Enjoy your meal! You only have to divide the goose into portions and serve with the sauce. Merry Christmas! Always yours, Starina Sam. Starina Sam Source
