• 1-1/4 teaspoons salt, divided
• 1 cup chopped celery

1. Sprinkle the inside of the goose with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Prick skin well. In a skillet, saute celery and onion in butter; transfer to a bowl. Add the apples, raisins, bread, sugar and remaining salt.
2. In a small bowl, beat eggs, cider and water. Pour over bread mixture and toss lightly. Stuff into the goose. Place with breast side up on a rack in a large shallow roasting pan.
3. Bake, uncovered, at 350u0b0 for 3 to 3-1/2 hours or until a thermometer reads 180u0b0. Drain fat from pan as it accumulates. Remove stuffing before carving goose.
