Steps:
- Roast Opossum:.
- The opossum is a very fat animal with a peculiarly flavored meat.
- It is dressed much as one would dress a suckling pig, removing the entrails, and if desired, the head and tail.
- After it is dressed, wash thoroughly inside and out with hot water.
- Cover with cold water to which has been added 1 cup of salt.
- Allow to stand overnight. In morning, drain off the salted water and rinse well with clear water.
- Stuff opossum with opossum stuffing (stuffing recipes next); sew opening or fasten with skewers.
- Place in roaster, add 2 tablespoons water and roast in moderate oven (350°F) until tender and richly browned, about one and one half hours.
- Baste every 15 minutes with drippings.
- Remove skewers or stitches, and place on heated platter.
- Skim fat from gravy remaining in pan.
- Opossum Stuffing:.
- Brown onion in fat.
- Add finely chopped opossum liver and cook until liver is tender.
- Add crumbs, a little red pepper, Worcestershire sauce, egg, salt and water to moisten.
