BROILED SQUIRREL
2 squirrels
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
4 tbsp. melted bacon fat
Skin and clean the squirrels. Wash 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 8 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 turning 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.
