   9       lb           Goose -- plucked, scrubbed

                        Salt

   1       t            Sugar
   6       tb           All-Purpose Flour
   3       c            Dry Vermouth
   8       oz           Jar Gooseberry Goldwasser
                        -drained
                        Ground Black Pepper
                        -thinly sliced
                        -sliced
   4       tb           Rendered Goose Fat
   1       qt           Chicken Broth
     1/2   c            Port Wine
                        -Jam

  Preheat the oven to 500F. Season the cavity of the        
  goose with salt and pepper. PAt the goose dry with        
  paper towels, then set the bird, breast-side up, on a     
  rack in a roasting pan with a tight-fitted lid. Brown     
  the goose without the lid in the hot oven about 20        
  minutes. Turn it a time or two to make the color even.    
  Now salt and pepper the bird, place it breast-side up     
  on the rack and turn the oven down to 325F and let        
  the bird continue to roast while you make the braising    
  liquid.                                                   
                                                            
  In a large skillet over medium high heat, heat goose      
  fat from the roasting pan and brown together the goose    
  neck, gizzard and heart that you've coarsely chopped,     
  along with the sliced onions and carrots. Sprinkle the    
  mixture with sugar and cook until the onions and          
  carrots are caramelized. Stir in the flour and            
  continue to cook while the flour browns. Add chicken      
  stock and stir vigorously to make a thin sauce. Pour      
  sauce into the roaster under the bird. Add wine. Cover    
  the roast and let the good cook until done, about 2       
  1/2 hours.                                                
                                                            
  The goose is done when the drumsticks move slightly in    
  their sockets and the juices run pale yellow instead      
  of pink. Lift off goose fat and save for cooking or       
  discard. Heat the jam in the microwave about 30           
  seconds so that it will pour, the brush the glaze all     
  over the bird and replace in the oven, uncovered.         
  Roast 10-15 minutes more, until the glaze sets. Remove    
  to a serving platter and keep warm.                       
                                                            
  Skim all the fat from the roaster and boil down the       
  liquid until it is thick enough to coat a spoon.          
  Correct seasonings with salt and pepper. Stir in the      
  port and simmer a moment. Strain the sauce into a         
  gravy boat. You'll have at least a quart of sauce.        
  Serve the goose with mashed potatoes and rutabagas and    
  steamed Brussels sprouts. Add some spiced apple sauce,    
  a glass of champagne, a loaf of rustic bread and call     
  it Thanksgiving.
