Side Pannel
Roast Possum
Ingredients List
- 1 Possum, whole, uncleaned
- 1 Onion, large, chopped
- 1 tb Bacon fat
- Possum liver
- 1 c Bread crumbs
- 1 ts Red pepper, chopped
- Worcestershire sauce, dash
- 1 Egg, hardboiled, finely chop
- Salt to taste
Directions
Possums are roasted with hide on, so prepare a large pot of scalding hot
water. Dip possum in it for a few minutes, then remove the hair by scraping
with a dull knife, as you would scrape a hog. If some hair comes off hard,
dip again in scalding (not hard-boiling) water. Wash with soap and water,
then remove entrails, keeping washed liver. Remove head and tail (some
people keep the head on). Soak in cold water to which is added 1 cup salt.
Drain and rinse with boiling water. Stuff with possum stuffing, close the
opening, and roast in black iron pot with a little water for 1-1/2 hours at
350. Baste often. SEE possum stuffing recipe. Add sweet potatoes 1 hour
before possum is done.
