1 goose (10-12 lbs)
salt
chopped apples
prunes
parsley
sage
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Remove neck and giblets and rinse goose. Rub salt all over outside of goose. Prick the skin with a fork. Stuff goose with a handful of apple and five or six prunes, along with a couple leaves of sage and parsley. Roast on rack in roasting pan for three hours or until meat thermometer registers 185 degrees. There will be quite a bit of grease in bottom of the pan. You can baste with this during the cooking. Let cool for 15 minutes before carving.
12 servings
I cooked 8 geese for 100 people and pulled every bit of the meat off each goose. We ended up with a small pan of meat, even with seconds and thirds going out.
