Method:

1. Rinse the goose inside and out and dry with kitchen paper. Remove the wing tips, neck and gizzard. Truss and place in a non-metallic dish.

2. Mix together all the marinade ingredients in a large jug and pour over the goose. Cover and leave overnight, turning and basting occasionally.

3. Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F/Gas mark 7.
