They's all blowed up. And the chil'ren who eat it, they's all blowed

up. Don't make no sense. "

OK-,

     I just can't let this go unanswered! I trapped four raccoons this winter

and the recipe as follows was a hit at a family gathering recently. Everyone

thought it was roast beef and I got great reviews.  A true Murr-haha moment,

indeed! They cleaned it up. One for the files?

I saved the baculum for a toothpick.

 

SWEET-SOUR RACCOON

 

1 raccoon cut into serving pieces

1 large onion, chopped

1 tsp each of salt, dry mustard and allspice

1/2 tsp black pepper

3/4 cup catsup

1 cup beef broth (I used chicken)

4 cups water

10 ginger snap cookies

3/4 cup vinegar

3/4 cup brown sugar

 

I browned the meat pieces in a cast iron skillet in bacon grease and put them

into the crockpot with the onion, mustard, allspice, salt, and pepper sprinkled

over. In a separate pan heat the catsup, broth, water, gingersnaps, vinegar, and

brown sugar. When well heated pour over the raccoon pieces and cook until

tender. You might be surprised.
