There is a similar recipe of duck with fruit that can be made with grapes or cherries, pears, lemon and apples. Marasche are sour cherries which are traditionally used in the sauce. I use more readily available dried cherries and cook them in red wine (I use Valpolicella for its already cherry-like qualities). I then compensate for their relative sweetness with a bit of vinegar which also provides a foil for the fatness of the duck or goose.
