Salt and pepper the pheasant inside and out, then put 1 tablespoon of

water.

Roast in a preheated 350 F oven one hour.

Meanwhile peel and core the apples, leaving them whole. Saute them in 2

don't let them become mushy.

Toast the bread and butter it.

When the pheasant is done, put it on a warm platter. Surround it with
the apples placed on the toast. Fill the cavity of each apple with a
teaspoonful of gooseberry jam. Keep warm.

Warm the Calvados or applejack and pour it over the pheasant. Set
aflame.

Pour the cream into the roasting pan juices, scraping up all the good
brown bits. Serve this on this side.
