from legs. Put coon in large roasting pan and cover with water. Put
4 large yellow onions, 2 complete stalks of celery, tops included and
salt and pepper to taste. Boil the coon until very tender. Pour off
all liquid and set aside. Discard onions and celery.Prepare 1 quart
of brown gravy and pour over coon in roasting pan. Place 8-10 large
sweet potatoes (already cooked) around coon and cover. Bake at 350
degrees for 1 hour.
Prepare large pot of turnip greens and 3-4 black skillets of cornbread. Place
kitchen towel at each place amt and 2 pots of hot water on table because there
will be grease from ear to ear on each guest when the bottom of the pan is licked.
There is no better way to cook a coon!!
