This is an excellent stuffing for goose. It should be well seasoned, so taste it before using and add more salt and pepper if necessary. This quantity is sufficient for one goose.

1 oz. [2 tablespoons] butter
1 lb. onions, peeled and sliced
1 lb. apples, peeled, cored and
finely sliced
juice of 1 orange
3 parsley sprigs
6 leaves fresh sage or 11/2 teaspoons dried sage
1 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 lb. potatoes, boiled and mashed
grated rind of 1 orange

Directions:

1. Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over moderate heat. Add the onions and sauté until they are soft but not brown. Add the apples, orange juice, parsley, sage, salt and grindings of pepper. Cook until the apples are soft.
2. Press the apple and onion mixture through a sieve and mix well with the mashed potatoes and grated orange rind to make a fairly firm stuffing. Taste and correct seasoning if necessary.
