We are fortunate in Vancouver to have a wonderful deli/restaurant in town that has amazing pastured geese available locally (Ethical Kitchen). We decided to have one for our holiday season this year and were very pleased with the results. I like geese as they are all brown meat (which is my favorite). Like ducks they have lots of fat which means that my colorful chestnut and pistachio stuffing goes really well with goose. Chestnuts can get a little dry without plenty of fat. Try this rich old fashioned pomegranate and cherry reduction for a delicious gluten-free sauce.

• 1 medium pastured goose
• 2 – 3 c kombucha
• 2 cans (660mL) coconut water (optional)
• 2 T pomegranate syrup
• 1 orange zest
• 7 whole cloves
• 1/2 piece cinnamon
