In some places "receipt" is the word used where most of us would say "recipe." Usage like saying a new "bedroom suit" instead of a "bedroom sweet" (suite).


The apple-prune-brandy-forcemeat approach sounds like a good one. There's a sweet chili sauce I might use, kinda orange marmalady flavors but medium-hot.

The hot-water-dousing to start the runoff sounds good. I could boil one for an hour before roasting.....

The pan-emptying periodically during cooking sounds right.

If I ever have to cook a goose again-- and you never know-- that's what I'll try. At least the brandy can comfort us all if it's still too greasy to eat.
