"Hi, I'm Jennifer Cail. On behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you how to roast a Christmas goose. Our final step in making the our gravy for our roasted goose is to add the pan juices to our roux. So we are going to gently pour in from the roasting pan into our base. You hear that sizzling as we are adding the hot juices. If you want you can scrap up some of the little bits of the brown bits that have accumulated in the pan. You want to be really careful with stirring this it's going to be hot you can hear it sizzling a bit. We are going to stir it until the roux has been combined with the juices so it's not going to get super thick but it's going to be a little bit thicker than what it is now. So while this is cooking I'm going to reach over and grab some of the brown bits from the pan. You can see how this is thickening up quite nicely and you can see there is still a little bit of the fat layer on top. If you have the time before your serving your gravy then you should let it cool down a bit so that the fat can rise to the top and then you can eliminate it. This is cooked enough the pot is nice and hot so we can let finish cooking in the pot without any flames underneath it. You don't want the gravy to be to thick you don't want it to be clumps on your roasted goose. So this is good and we are finished with the gravy and ready to move onto the next step."
