Default Possum Recipe......

Here's the recipe I promised when I first posted about the
freebies.........FYI a link on the Today Show's website has a whole list of
'free' sites that you can get 'stuff' from.



No real proportions given. You are to eyeball the size of the possum and go
with the flow. I added in parenthesis what I 'thought' might be an ideal.


Skin a possum, clean, removing entrails and glands. Scrape and scald in
boiling water. Salt and pepper inside and out. Make a mixture of bread
crumbs, chestnuts and applesauce (1/2 cup each?) in equal amounts. Stuff
this mixture in the possum. Cover with sweet potatoes (3 pounds, peeled and
diced), 1 cup water and 1/2 cup of lemon juice. Bake in butter and baste
often. Bake until tender.




Now: to hunt possum.....you will need a pick up truck and a shovel.
