2 squirrels
2 qts. boiling water

Cut the squirrels into pieces. Put into the boiling water along with the rest of the ingredients, except the butter. Cover and simmer for about 2 hours; add the butter and simmer another 15 minutes. Bring to a full boil, remove from the stove and serve. By the way, grey squirrel is even better than red squirrel, and they are both better tasting when hunted in the fall.
