Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Sprinkle the goose with lemon juice, salt and pepper.

To make stuffing, place bacon grease in a large skillet. Saute onion until tender. Stir in apple, apricots and bread crumbs. Stuff the goose with this mixture, and close the opening.

Place goose, breast-side up, on a rack in a roasting pan. Drape bacon strips over the breast of the goose. Place goose in the oven, and while it is cooking, baste the bird several times with a heated mixture of melted butter and apple juice or cider. Roast for 20 minutes per pound.

At the end of the calculated cooking time, pour the cup of boiling water in the roaster, cover and cook 30 minutes more.
