5- Stuff and truss the goose. Any leftover stuffing can be formed into patties, or pressed into a smaller tin for separate baking.

6- Place the goose breast side up on a rack in a roastng tin. (If you have a thermometer, insert it into its thigh, without touching the bone).

Goose gives of a lot of fat when roasted, so have a bulb baster or spoon ready to draw off the dripping. This can then be used to make really tasty roast potatoes.
