Ingredients

If your Sir name would have 5 numerals behind it, and you enter a room where the tail of you coat,or the hem of your dress,was lifted slightly and carried,as you glide to a table,set with Irish Linen,Austrian Crystal and Dresden China,then the dining experience set before you would be called "Exquisite",but from the other side of that door...

It would be called a "Fuzzy Tailed Vermin "that got into the pecan tree just one time to many.

Between Prairie Dog and Squirrel,Grandads rifle never needed dusting off.

Directions

3 Squirrels,cleaned,washed,dried,cut into serving pieces

Generous amount of Butter

2 Onions,sliced

Water

3 Tablespoons Vinegar

1/8 teaspoon each,Thyme,Salt,Pepper

1-1/2 Dozen Prunes

1-1/2 Tablespoons Flour

1 Cup Cold Water

Brown Squirrel pieces in butter,just to brown,but not cooked through.

Cook onions until in the pan that you browned the squirrel in.

Place the onions and the butter that you cooked them in over the squirrel .

Where exactly does a city boy like me find squirrel? Our local Ralph's Market doesn't carry anything like that!

My mother used to fix squirrel. I don't have it often but maybe once a summer. I love this recipe. And your right. The meat(young ones at least)is very mild. Great recipe and photo... Jim

Oh Mark.. the only way a city boy like you is going to have squirrel is if you drive yourself the the country and shoot one....;-)~

Fox squirrels, not skinny little gray squirrels.

We always soaked the parts in heavily salted water for a few hours before applying them to the skillet. Helps to remove the game taste. This recipe sounds great. Now all I need is a few squirrels...
