Roast Goose with Sweet Glaze

While goose is thought of as a traditional Christmas entree, some people do not care for the all dark meat bird. My recipe will change their mind in one bite. The sweet citrus glaze compliments the rich, juicy meat perfectly. —Colleen Sturma, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

10 ServingsPrep: 15 min. Bake: 2-3/4 hours + standing

Ingredients

1 domestic goose (10 to 12 pounds)
1 teaspoon salt
2 small navel oranges, quartered
1 small onion, quartered
2 garlic cloves
3/4 cup orange marmalade
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Sprinkle goose and inside cavity with salt. Prick skin well with a
fork. Place the oranges, onion and garlic in cavity. Tuck wings
under goose; tie drumsticks together. Place breast side up on a rack
in a roasting pan.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 2-3/4 to 3-1/4 hours or until a
thermometer reads 180°. Cover loosely with foil if goose browns
too quickly. If necessary, drain fat from pan as it accumulates.
In a small saucepan, combine the marmalade, mustard, soy sauce, brown
sugar and pepper. Cook and stir over medium heat until heated
through. During the last 15 minutes of cooking, baste some of the
glaze over goose.
Place goose on a serving platter; cover and let stand for 15 minutes
