Roasted goose (Stegt gås)

Roasted goose is a Danish specialty usually enjoyed on special occasions and often used as a welcoming replacement for the more traditional roasted duck. The goose is thoroughly cleaned and is usually stuffed with quartered apples or a combination of apples and prunes.

While the goose is roasting, all of the drippings should be preserved to create a flavorful sauce that is reduced, mixed with cream, and served alongside the goose. Traditional accompaniments to roasted goose include red cabbage and boiled or caramelized potatoes.
