For those that don't have a PC. You can bread how you like and brown in a skillet, CI is best. Then get some of these little SS condiment thingy's, fill with water and spices, then bake covered. They come out just as good as doing them with a canner.

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I'm pretty sure if I would have run this batch for 15 minutes it would have fallen off the bone. I ran my small cooker with two cups of water. That's more that really need but I just can't get used to the 1/2 cup idea. Anyways I dumped out some real good smelling broth. I may have to go shoot some more squirrels. Just to see if that broth would be as good as it smelled in a stew. Or for gravy in a pot pie.
I've always just fried it like my mother did. Only shoot a dozen or so any given year now. Not like when I was kid and ma was feeding five of us kids.

Get some more,,and instead of putting water in the cooker with them,,use some beef broth or beef stock.Or you can use water but throw a couple beef bouillon cubes in there.That makes real nice gravy broth after.

Boy and I decided to go back out see could we shoot a few more squirrels. Walked about 3 time farther than the other day. Again the wind was not nice to us. But we still managed to shoot 4 squirrels
. I should say my son shot 3 and I shot 1. I took couple more pictures but for some reason T-man says their to big to post. Only thing I can figure is one I try to post saying to big. They have way more leaves in back ground. I don't know what else is different to make file bigger???
Anyways after reading all the post by others on this thread. I think these 4 are going to become stew. Their soaking in saltwater for the overnight. Then I will decide if Im going to make some stew right away. Or freeze them for now see can snipe couple more add in, do the stew for deer camp.
Anyways here is the one photo that would let me load. First big fox squirrel we bagged in a while. Was actually two reds and a grey grab arssing when first spotted them.
