Christmas Goose with Orange Glaze

Directions

1. Sprinkle goose with salt, sage and pepper; prick skin well with a fork. Cut three oranges into quarters; place in goose cavity. Tuck wings under goose; tie drumsticks together. Place breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan.
2. 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.
3. Cut peel from remaining oranges into long thin strips; cut oranges into sections, discarding membranes. Set aside.
4. Place goose on a serving platter; cover and let stand for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium heat, cook and stir corn syrup and sugar until sugar is dissolved. Stir in orange sections and peel; heat through.
5. Brush glaze over goose. Spoon orange sections and peel around goose.
