PERFECT SPICED ROAST GOOSE
You really can't go wrong with this recipe! This will be a holiday showstopper, it has a rub that caramelizes the goose when baking, plan ahead the goose needs to marinade for about 4 hours. Cooking time is for a 10-12 pound goose, I strongly suggest to use a meat thermometer for best results --- a 10-12 pound goose with feed about 8 people if you are serving more then I would suggest to make two, you will need to prepare two separate marinades and place the goose into two plastic bags.

Steps:
- To make the goose:
- Remove excess skin, fat and quills from goose. Carefully lower goose into large pot of boiling water. Boil 1 minute. Remove from water. Pat dry. Place on rack in large pan. Chill uncovered 2 days.
- Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add goose neck; cook until brown, turning once, about 5 minutes. Add slice shallots; sauté until tender, about 4 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups Madeira and 1 orange. Boil until reduced by 1/3, scraping up browned bits, about 3 minutes. Add broth and juice. Boil until reduced to 2 cups liquid, about 45 minutes. Strain sauce into saucepan. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Chill.)
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Pierce goose skin (not meat) all over with fork. Place halved shallots and remaining 3 oranges in cavity of goose. Tie leg together to hold shape. Season with salt and pepper. Place goose, breast side down, on rack in roasting pan. Roast 1 1/2 hours.
- Transfer goose to platter. Pour off fat from pan. Place goose, breast side up, on rack in pan. Roast until thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 180°F. about 1 hour 15 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 450°F. Roast goose until golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer to platter.
- Pour off all fat from pan, leaving browned bits in pan. Pour 1/3 cup Madeira into pan. Gently heat pan while scraping up browned bits. Pour mixture into sauce. Dissolve cornstarch in remaining 2 tablespoons Madeira. Whisk into sauce. Boil until thickened to sauce consistency, about 7 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons honey. Season to taste with more honey, salt and pepper.

- Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots; sauté until golden, about 10 minutes. Stir in Madeira, broth and honey. Simmer until shallots are tender and liquid is reduced to glaze, about 1 hour 10 minutes. (Glazed shallots can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.
