Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Thaw goose if frozen. Wash inside and out and pat dry with
paper towels. Rub goose with cut lemon. Place lemon halves inside cavity of goose. Mix
garlic and salt; rub over surface of goose. Place on a rack in a roasting pan. Using a fork,
pierce skin over breast of goose in several places. Roast goose 20 to 25 minutes per
pound. Pierce skin again during cooking to release fat into pan beneath. Meanwhile,

minutes, then remove cover. Bake dressing 15 minutes longer. Serve goose with dressing
and applesauce. Makes 6 servings.
