Title: Broiled Squirrel
Yield: 1 Servings

Ingredients

      2    squirrels
    1/4 ts pepper
      1 ts salt
      4    tablesppons melted bacon
      1    fat

Instructions

This is by far the simplest way to prepare squirrel, and it can be
done either on the camp stove or on the trail.

Skin and clean the squirrels. Wahs and pat dry. Cut in half
lengthwise and remove the head. Rub the squirrels with salt and
pepper. If in camp, place the halved squirrels on a broiling rack and
brush with the bacon fat. Broil eight inches away from heat for 30
minutes. Baste every 5 minutes with bacon fat.

If on the trail, spear the whole squirrel on a stick and put it in
front of the camp fire, basting and turing the stick occasionally for
at least 45 minutes. A few apples on a stick propped in front of the
fire will complement this dish very well.
