Buyer's guide
Goose fat can be bought in cans and jars.
Storage
Once opened, keep in the fridge. If strained through muslin into sterilised jars, home-produced goose fat will keep for up to six months. Goose fat freezes well and lasts many months. A good tip is to freeze small quantities in small blocks or ice-cube trays for ease of use.
Preparation
Use it to make superb roast potatoes, homemade confit or pastry and dumplings.
