An Absolutely Perfect Roast Goose!

I used this recipe on Christmas and it was the first time I made a goose. I used a 10 lb goose & the cooking method was terrific. I pricked the goose all over & then boiled it briefly, for about a minute. I stuffed the bird with aromatics (apple, onion, celery) and then roasted it. The skin was not greasy at all. I didn't use the stuffing recipe reccomended in this recipe, but of all the cooking methods I read online, this appeared to be the best. I plan on using it again. The key is to have a roasting rack that is high off the bottom of the pan.
