INGREDIENTS

  • Goose

    • 1 whole smoked goose

  • Sauce Base

    • 💧 3 cups water
    • 🍷 ½ cup red wine
    • 1 whole star anise
    • ¼ cup aged balsamic vinegar
    • ¼ cup blackberry jam
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 🧂 Salt to taste
    • 🧈 2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

  • Seasoning

    • 🧂 Salt and ground black pepper to taste

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

Remove top wing flat section from each wing. Place goose, breast-side up, in a baking dish or roasting pan.

3

Combine wing sections, water, wine, and star anise in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until meat falls off the bone, about 2 hours. Remove bones and star anise; discard.

4

Roast goose in the preheated oven until completely heated through, about 1 1/4 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 150°F (66°C).

5

Stir balsamic vinegar, blackberry jam, and black pepper into red wine mixture; bring to simmer over medium heat. Simmer until reduced by three quarters, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk in cold butter until completely incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6

Brush melted goose fat from the bottom of the pan onto the goose breast. Drizzle with sauce and serve.
