Would the Fluffy One please contact me with the cranberry raccoon recipe
you once sent/posted?  

My reply:

Wow, that took a while to find.  I wrote that back in August of 1999; you 
have a good memory.   Here is the recipe, you can do it in non-crockpot 
fashion and use the ingedients to make a sauce to simmer the tender-cooked 
raccon in.  

All the best to you and yours, 

the fluffy bunny

  My son is working on

a project surveying Western Painted Turtles.  



My reply:



Ahh...a wonderful subject they must be.  Chrysemys picta belli(Western 
painted turtle) is so very serene and amazingly active in the winter, which 
actually is a bit of a contrast to Chrysemys picta picta(Eastern Painted 
turtle).  Too bad they spook so easily...they are fascinating creatures 
though, and extremely agile.



Which brings me to the topic of this thread.  As I am an obvious fan of 
Western Painted turtles and agree with the synopsis that the "coons" are 
feeding on turtles I'll suggest the following:



Cranberry Raccoon:



21/2 to 3 lbs of Raccoon pieces (remove the fat and glands)

1 cup of finely chopped cranberries

1 cup apple cider

1/4 cup honey

pinch of grated orange peel

a tad of salt

1/8 teaspoon of ground cloves

1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg



put the racoon in a crock pot for 7-8; then add other ingredients and cook 
for an additional 4-5 hours...enjoy...



If your son is doing field studies into the fall he might appreciate this 
one...it really is very satisfying and tasty...



                        The fluffy bunny



P.S. coon pelts are running around 25-30 dollars

       last I checked...I think some of you are over

       looking a source of additional income...
