Roast Goose Recipe

One of the most memorable parts of charles dickens' "A christmas carol" Is when the ghost of christmas present takes scrooge to the house of his clerk, bob cratchit, as the family sits down for christmas dinner, and the roasted goose is a prominent part of the scene. This depiction of a victorian-era english christmas dinner has become embedded in the cultural traditions of the holiday for americans. Take a cue from dickens and make this an old-fashioned christmas dinner with roasted goose and all the fixings. The overnight brining in this recipe ensures flavorful and moist meat. Filling the cavity with fruit not only gives the roasted goose a wonderful flavor and scentit also makes your kitchen smell divine. Also, carefully pricking the skin is the secret to a beautiful, crispy finish.
