Barbecued Raccoon

Instructions

1. 1

   Separate and wash celery. Place all ingredients in pot with enough water to cover coon. Bring to slow boil; cook until tender, or until fork goes in easily--about 1 to 2 hours depending upon size and age of coon. Remove meat from pot, cut off front and back legs; cut remainder into four pieces. Place on rack, brush with your favorite barbeque sauce. Place in 400ºF oven; turn and baste frequently with barbecue sauce until a golden brown--45 minutes to 1 hour. "Look what I found, Farmer John. Haven't had this tasty treat since I was in Germany 40 years ago. Give it a try, it's worth the effort," Caj.
