Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a whole goose with prunes and apples? Rub the goose with salt inside and out and let stand for 2 hours.

Step 2

Step 2
The video advises removing the neck and wings. I don’t do this — precious juice escapes through the holes in the carcass. I trim the neck, leaving the skin, and wrap and seal the remaining skin so that the juice does not leak out. If the wings are burning, I wrap them in foil or simply trim them before serving. Mix mustard with honey.

Step 3

Step 3
Wash the apples, cut each into 8 slices and remove the core. Apples cut into rings look original. Steam the prunes for 5 minutes in hot water and then dry a little.

Step 4

Step 4
Place apples and prunes inside the goose and pierce with a skewer. The goose looks beautiful if you tuck it in the French way — sew up the slit, tie the legs (the slit and legs are tied with one thread), and tie the wings to the body. For whom the aesthetics of presentation is important, read this point, for example, from J. Child.

Step 5

Step 5
Brush the goose with a mixture of mustard and honey.

Step 6

Step 6
Place the carcass in a roasting sleeve. It is better to position the goose so that it lies on its back.

Step 7

Step 7
Tie up your sleeve. You can pierce it now in several places (from the top), or you can wait until the bag swells in the oven and pierce it later.

Step 8

Step 8
Cook the goose at 200 degrees for 2 hours. Before serving, remove the fruit from the belly and cut the meat into portions.
