COON BAKE

1 coon
Salt and pepper to taste
3 cloves minced garlic
1 c. chopped celery
1 chopped green pepper
6 med. sweet potatoes
Vinegar
Water to cover
1 lg. chopped onion
Shortening
Flour

Dress the meat (hopefully it will come to you this way and you won’t have to do it yourself). Soak for 1 hour in mild vinegar and water solution to remove the (gamey) taste: drain. Cut the meat in serving pieces like you would a chicken, salt and pepper the meat cover with water. Add the seasoning and boil until partially tender. Remove from the heat and drain. Brown the meat in a small amount of shortening then place in a roasting pan. Make a thin brown gravy with flour and meat drippings; pour over the meat. Place peeled sweet potatoes around meat and bake at 350 degrees until the potatoes are done. Good Luck.
