    Remove the tray from the oven, wrap the goose breast in 2 layers of foil and leave it to rest for 10 minutes. Finish the sauce while you wait. You can blend the fruit into the liquid before returning it to the pan to reduce it to a thick jus, or leave the fruit whole for a chunky and rustic sauce.
