Alma's Recipe For 'possum

Recipe By:
Serving Size: 6
Cuisine:
Main Ingredient:


-= Ingredients =-
1/2 cup Lime
1 gram Water
1 cup Salt
1 Red pepper pod
1 Possum


-= Instructions =-
Put 1/2 cup lime in about 1 gallon of boiling water and scald
quickly, and pull off hair while hot. Scrape well--remove feet, tail,
and entrails--like you would a pig. Cut off ears, remove eyes and
head if desired. Pour hot water over it and clean thoroughly. Put
one cup salt in sufficient cold water to cover possum, add 1 pod red
pepper and let stand overnight. In the morning remove salt water and
pour boiling water over it. Cook in enough boiling water to boil up
over possum but not enough to cover. Cook until skin can be pierced
with a fork easily, and let stand in water until ready for baking.
When ready to bake, place possum in pan with skin side up. Bake in a
moderate oven until crisp and brown. If fire is too hot, skin will
blister and burn. Carve possum and surround with potatoes (sliced
or quartered) which have been previously baked.1928 DULL ; Mrs.
