Only thing that would have made it better would be skin on over a spit…. I’m trying for that next year!
Best wild game meat I’ve ever had! Caught a couple of squeelers in the hog trap in Texas when I was there for Thanksgiving. .22 to the head was a good death for them. Gave one to my sister and one to my parents (I shot a ~70 pounder for myself under the green lights).
Mom decided she wanted to do the pig for Christmas dinner, which sounded like the perfect way to use it. We brined it for a day, stuffed it with onion and apple and celery and rosemary and then roasted it low and slow for about 8 hours on 225, turning occasionally and basting with drippings with a rosemary mop. We hit it with the broiler for a few minutes at the end to brown it and then peeled meat off and served with gravy, sliced roasted potatoes, broccolini and sweet potatoe soufflé. Unreal meal!
