Anyone have a good receipe for 'possum or 'coon then?
I haven't tried them, so I don't know how good they are, but here are
a few:
Basic Coon
Cut up, boil in water with a little salt until tender. Place in
shallow pan, sprinkle with a little sage, add one cup broth. Pre-cook
about 5 medium size sweet potatoes, cut in half and place around
coon. Bake in hot oven for 20 minutes.
---------------------------
Old-Fashioned Coon
Put one coon in salt and soda water and let stand overnight. Take out
of water next morning and wash two times and put in kettle and boil
until tender. Put in a bread pan and put pepper and sage on it and
bake. Serve with sweet potatoes.
---------------------------
Coon and Dressing
Cut coon into small pieces and salt to taste. Cook in the inset pan
of the pressure cooker for about an hour at 15 lb. pressure. Cook
longer if it is an old and tough coon. When coon is tender, arrange
pieces in a baking dish and cover with dressing made as follows:
Moisten 8-10 slices of dry bread with the juice cooked from the coon
and add 2 eggs, 2 T. sage, 1/2 tsp. ground cloves, and 1 T. salt.
Bake in oven at 350 until the dressing is browned. This assures a
tender, tasty coon without being too fat and greasy. Also good for
possum.
