Place the prunes and the port into a bowl to soak for about two hours.
Melt the goose fat in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion, celery and garlic and fry in the fat for 4-5 minutes, until softened.
Remove the prunes from the port with a slotted spoon and finely chop. Add the chestnuts, cranberries and the prunes to the onion and celery mixture and fry for one minute.
Add the port and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to simmer for 30 minutes, or until all of the liquid has been reduced, then set aside until ready to serve. Before serving add the parsley and stir in. (You can make the stuffing in advance and reheat before serving, but only add the parsley at the end).
