Goose stuffed with apples - pennsylvania dutch

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 Goose; 7 to 8 pounds
Salt
1½ pounds Peeled; quartered apples
½ cup Currants
1½ pint Water
½ Sliced onion
6 Peppercorns
2 tablespoons Flour

Directions

Clean and dress the goose, cutting off wings, head, neck and feet. Trim off all fat and soak this fat in cold water for 15 minutes. Rub goose with salt inside and outside. Mix the apples well with the currants and stuff into the goose, then sew up. Put the goose in the oven in a covered roasting pan with the water, sliced onion and peppercorns, and roast for 1 hour. Remove the cover then start basting with the drippings every 10 to 15 minutes. If the water boils down, add spoonfuls of it so the fat will not get too brown. It may require from 2 to 3 hours roasting before the goose is well done and crisp. Sprinkle a tablespoonful of cold water over the skin to make it more crisp. Make gravy with flour. Skim off grease if too plentiful.
