Squirrel cooking

I put a dry rub on them and grill them.

cut up, four legs and a back and a saddle(back at ribs)then fry like chicken.

I soak them in salted water to draw the blood out.

Maw Maw's pressure cooker is great. It gets them tender. Mine would cook them like that then add some dumplins.

I also like to boil them and then make a gumbo or stew with a little beef stock and vegetable.

My grandmother would come out and seperate them into two piles, young ones I didn't have to clean the heads, old ones I did. Fried squirrel and biscuits for breakfast.

Cook in a gravy.

Trick is to brown the ever living hell out of them, you almost want them to stick. Take them out and add onions, bell peppers, with water cook down veggies slowly. Add squirrels and cook slowly for a few hours.
