Roast Beaver Recipe
You'll be surprised at how tasty beaver really is. Barbequed Beaver Tail is a popular favorite among old-timers. Speaking of old, here is a recipe that is ideal for those larger, older beavers who may not be as tender as the young'uns.
1. Wash beaver thoroughly with saltwater.
2. Soak it overnight in water to cover plus the vinegar and 1 Tbs. salt.
3. Next day, drain the meat, wash again and cover with 2 quarts fresh water plus the soda.
4. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
5. Drain again, pat dry and place beaver in roasting pan. Salt & pepper the meat.
6. Cover with sliced onions and bacon or salt pork.
7. Place lid on roaster pan and bake at 375 degrees until tender.
8. Serve with a tart jelly or my Homemade Cranberry Sauce.
