Savor the rich, succulent flavors of your perfectly roasted goose, enhanced by a sweet and tangy orange glaze. This festive dish is best enjoyed fresh, but proper storage ensures its deliciousness can be preserved for a few more meals.

Storage Time

3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months in the freezer for optimal quality.

Temperature

Store refrigerated at or below 4°C (40°F).

Freezing

Allow the roast goose with orange glaze to cool completely before portioning it into airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags. For best results, remove as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. To thaw, transfer the frozen goose to the refrigerator overnight. Reheat gently in the oven or on the stovetop until heated through, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F). While freezing is safe, the texture of the glaze might slightly alter upon thawing.

Signs of Spoilage

• A sour or ammonia-like smell emanating from the meat.
• A slimy or sticky texture on the surface of the goose or glaze.
• Visible mold growth or significant discoloration, such as a grayish or greenish hue on the meat.
