Thanksgiving Goose again

   OK, so not all things go according to plan. I wasn't thrilled with the Goose. Probably operator error. The goose was somewhat tough. I think it was due to the high heat I used at the end, trying to crisp the skin. I wouldn't call it a complete disaster though, the sauce that I made was really good and the flavor of the goose was what it should be.
   Here is the ingredient list for the sauce.
   Olive oil
   Onion
   Garlic
   Red wine
   Brown goose stock
   Diced prunes
   Diced dried cherries
   Diced dried apricots
   Simmered and sieved cranberries
   Black pepper
   Honey
   Salt
