Well it is about that time of the  year again and young squirrels are just wonderful fried and eaten with biscuits and gravy.But a lot of the squirrels we come by do not fit into this type.

what i do with the older ones is to parboil them in beer(you can use water too) with salt, pepper, a little vinegar and a white onion. i boil them slow until i can just get a fork into them. take out each piece as this becomes possible.

then pour off the water and you can either use the same pot or a slow cooker. put in the squirrel pieces and pour over them some “sweet baby ray’s” bbq sauce. i cut the sauce with a little more beer to make it just a little runny. you can use any kind of bbq sauce but the above mentioned brand is powerful good.

now slow cook the squirrel until they are completly tender. not falling off the bone tender because that makes them to hard to eat.

this goes great with some home made sweet cornbread!

this is simple to make and i have yet to find people who would try it at all that did not like it!

this also works great for rabbit.
