Plum Goose
1 big, fat goose
.5 lb. kosher or sea salt
1 C lemon juice
2 dozen ripe, wild plums (they are sweet-tart. Substitue cranberries in a pinch)
2 oranges sliced thin
sauce
2 dozen plums
1-2 C water
.5 C honey
.5 tsp ancho pepper
dash of mineral or sea salt
Brine the goose for 24-48 hours in salt and lemon juice, quartered works best
put fresh water in a stock pot and add 2 dozen squished wild plums or cranberries and orange slices
braise until it nearlly falls off the bone. If it falls off the bone, it cooked too long
grill it over open fire for about 10 mn per side
serve hot and crispy with the sauce on the side
Sauce:
stew the plums in the water until half the water is gone
mash the plums and reserve the juice, pitch the mass
add the honey, pepper and salt
reduce to a thick sauce
adjust taste to have a sweet tart, slightly zippy fruit based sauce
Delightful Yams
3 golden yams
3 garnet yams
2 TBS grated parmesean cheese
2 TBS olive oil
salt to taste
peel, chop large yams and grill in a veggie basket
dump in a glass dish with a lid
add cheese, oil and salt
microwave for 3 mn
toss and serve
