Rinse goose and pat dry. Remove excess fat. Sprinkle with salt and
marjoram inside and out. Prick skin all over with fork. Place
goose, breast side up, in a roasting pan. Place pan in center of
cooking grate. Add 2 cups of water to roasting pan.
Grill 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until tender and temperature (measured
internally) reaches 180 degrees F. To crisp goose, increase grill
temperature to High for last 15 to 30 minutes. Remove goose from
grill. Reserve fat for gravy. Let goose stand for 15 to 20 minutes
before carving.
To Make Stuffing: Place prunes and 1/4 cup white wine in a large
bowl. Soak for 5 minutes. Add apples, grated rye bread, raisins,
lime juice, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well. Place in an 8x4x2
inch heavy-gauge foil pan.
Cover with heavy foil and grill indirectly over medium heat for
about 40 minutes. For crisper stuffing, grill uncovered.
To Make Gravy: In a saucepan, mix remaining 3/4 cup wine, 1/2 cup
water, 3 tablespoons reserved goose fat and 3 tablespoons
stuffing.
Press stuffing to dissolve, and use as thickening for gravy. Bring
mixture to boil simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Strain
gravy and season with salt.
