"You really can't go wrong with this recipe, and this will be your holiday showstopper, it has a rub that caramelizes the goose when baking, plan ahead the goose needs to marinade for about 5 hours a little more won't hurt. Cooking time is for a 10-12 pound goose, I strongly suggest to use a meat thermometer for best results. A 10-12 pound goose with feed about 8 people if you are serving more then I would suggest to make two, you will need to prepare two separate marinades and place the goose into two plastic bags. Cooking time is oven roasting time, Prep time includes 5 hour marinating time"

Step by Step Method

Step 1

For the marinade; in a large saucepan combine 2 cups water with 2/3 cups soy sauce, celery, dried onion and 1 tablespoon sugar; bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook uncovered until the celery is tender, stirring frequently. Cool mixture to room temperature. Pour the marinade into a large resealable bag; add in whole goose, then seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 5 hours turning several times.

Step 2

After 5 hours of refrigeration time discard marinade, sprinkle JUST THE INSIDE of the goose cavity with salt and pepper (you will season the outside of the goose with salt the last 1-1/2 hours of cooking).

Step 3

Rub the outside of the goose with vegetable oil (1/4 cup oil should do if not use more).

Step 4

Place goose on a shallow roasting pan.

Step 5

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Step 6

In a small cup or bowl combine the cinnamon with garlic powder and anise seed; rub spice mixture all over the outside of the goose. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.

Step 7

Meanwhile while the goose is cooking; in a small saucepan combine the vinegar with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, honey, remaining 2 cups water; bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered until reduced by about half. Remove the goose from oven and baste the goose generously with honey mixture.

Step 8

Sprinkle lightly with salt.

Step 9

Return to oven and bake uncovered for another 30 minutes.

Step 10

Remove from oven and cover with foil and return to oven to bake for about 1-1/2 to 2 more hours or until a meat thermometer reads 180 degrees (basting occasionally with remaining honey mixture if desired).

Step 11

Let stand covered with foil for about 20 minutes or more before carving (do not prick with a fork or slice during this time or juices will flow out of the goose).

Step 12

FOR THE GRAVY; strain pan juices, then skim and discard any fat.

Step 13

In a small saucepan combine cornstarch with cold water until smooth; whisk into the pan juices and bring to a boil, cook and stir for about 2 minutes or until thickened.

Step 14

Serve the gravy with the goose. Delicious!
