Goose, Roast

Oven, in the book's wordsA moderate oven

Ingredients

Directions

The book says “a moderate oven”. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

  1. Prepare the goose as you would for a capon, removing the feet.

  2. Use the giblets to make a rich soup.

  3. Stuff the goose with the goose stuffing.

  4. Flour the outside of the goose well.

  5. Roast in a moderate oven at 350°F (175°C) for about two hours.

  6. Serve with gravy, apple sauce, or apricot jam.

Recipe from a historical cookbook (Internet Archive).

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
