Directions

  1. 1

    Remove excess fat from inside the goose and cut out the fat gland. Wash the goose thoroughly inside and out. Wash throat, stomach, heart and liver as well. Season goose inside and out with salt and pepper. Wash the marjoram, dab dry and chop it except for something to garnish. Wash apples, quarter them and cut out the core. Cut apple quarters roughly into pieces and mix with marjoram. Fill the goose with apples, pin or sew up with wooden skewers. Tie legs and wings together with kitchen string.

  2. 2

    Place the goose with the breast side down in the fat pan of the oven. Pour on approx. 1/4 litre of stock and roast in the preheated oven (electric range: 200 °C/ gas: level 3) for 3 1/2-4 hours. In between, gradually pour on the remaining bouillon. Turn the goose after about half the roasting time. Peel and quarter 2 onions. Clean, wash and roughly cut the carrots into pieces. About 1 1/2 hours before the end of the cooking time, spread the vegetables, neck and offal except for the liver, around the goose and fry it. Fry the liver for the last 20-30 minutes. Meanwhile clean and wash the red cabbage and cut into fine strips. Peel the rest of the onions and chop them coarsely. Heat clarified butter in a large pot, fry red cabbage and onions briefly. Pour on broth and cassis liqueur, add bay leaf, cloves and allspice and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook for 50-60 minutes. 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time, stir in currant jelly and vinegar. Season red cabbage with salt and pepper. Mix honey and ground cinnamon. Brush the goose with the cinnamon honey 10-15 minutes before the end of the cooking time. Keep the finished goose warm and pour the roast stock through a sieve.
