I spy...

SUPPER!! Mmmmm...

BAKED STUFFED RACCOON WITH APPLES

1 med. raccoon
4 lg. onions
4 strips salted pork
2 c. beef stock

STUFFING:

5 lg. tart apples
2 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. dry bread crumbs
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper

Skin and clean the raccoon. Wash well and remove most of the fat. Place in a large soup kettle, cover with water and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

Peel, core and dice the apples into a mixing bowl. Melt the butter in a small saucepan and add the cinnamon, bread crumbs, salt and pepper; mix well. Remove the raccoon from the cooking juices and cool. Stuff the raccoon and sew up the cavity. Place the raccoon, breast down on the rack of a roast pan, with the legs folded under the body and fasten with kitchen string. Drape the salt pork over the back of the raccoon and fasten with toothpicks. Place the onions beside the raccoon on the rack.

Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes to brown the meat. Reduce temperature to 325 degrees and add the 2 cups of beef stock. Cook for 1 hour, basting as often as possible. Transfer to a heated platter surrounded by the whole onions.

Coon...the other, other, other white meat!! 8~D

If I offend plez advise and I'll be more than happy to edit / delete.

I think he blends in well with his surrondings. He may think he's a Lizard . Good pic just the same. Thanks.

He looks good! (I wonder if he has any recipes suitable for some humans?) I like your attitude - and his, and I'm glad you posted it.

You are truly a friend to all the animals. They know where it is safe and even they want to be captured by your camera. Maybe there should be a Top Model show for animals.

Don't you just love when you can get that close up to a animal and it seems that they are actually posing for the shot. Nice capture.

There are various reasons to post an image and as you stated this is one of them-it's precious. The image created a reaction within me. No, not something I would want for a desktop but something I would keep to remind me of God's wonderful creation. Great post.
