Hello and welcome Outdoorsman!
I am putting your message in the game section at the bottom of the board. That would be where this would go. Watch for your answer!

Hello again Outdoorsman! Below is a recipe we found for you. Hope it works! Roast Suckling Pig - serves 10 10-15 pounds suckling pig 1/2 cup vegetable oil Salt and ground pepper to taste Bread stuffing, plus 2 tsp sage, crumbled 1/4 pound butter, melted Bread Stuffing: 1/4 pound butter 4 tbsp chopped onion 4 tbsp chopped celery 4 cups dry bread crumbs 1/4 tsp ground pepper Salt to taste Melt the butter in a skillet and stir in the onion and celery. Cook over low heat until the onion is soft, add this mixture to the crumbs and toss lightly with plenty of pepper and salt. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Rub the pig with the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stuff lightly with the stuffing and sew the cavity shut. Put the pig on its side on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Cover the ears and tail with foil so they do not burn. Place in the oven and baste every 20 minutes with the melted butter until there are enough pan juices for basting. Roast about 2 1/2 hours, basting often, then remove foil. Roast about 30 minutes more, until the internal temperature is 165 F. Remove and let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before carving. www.free-gourmet-recipes.com/prsuckling.shtmlAlso, click on the following link to www.massrecipes.com and you will find another recipe. www.cdkitchen.com/search/search.php?t=1&Submit=Search&c=&order=1&q=roast+suckling+pig |
