  Ever so tasty. Sour cherries are a natural with duck, and so perfect with goose. There was more than enough sauce - but it took longer than 20 minutes, and I was glad I started it early Goose beats turkey hands down every time!

  'Haven't tried it yet but it sounds good. However '...cook for another 11/2-2 hours' could be confusing to beginners, I imagine it means one and a half to two hours?

  Just had this for Easter - it was truly fabulous! Needed longer to reduce, but the result was wonderful - festive and very special.
