Catch n Cook WILD MUSKRAT | SURPRISE BEST MEAT EVER with CHARCUTERIE?!? | Open Fire & Pumpkin Pie

Join Adam Craig Outdoors and me in search of the much prized muskrat. Then my 8-year-old son and I enjoy brinned and seasoned muskrat cooked over open fire so that NOTHING IS WASTED!

Adam Craig "Trapping With Wilson - First Fur":

*TO THE VIEWER, muskrat is both plentiful and in need of control. In Canada, muskrat is carefully controlled and protected by special regulations. Rather than just waste the animal, we decided to eat it. If you want more information, don't hesitate to ask, but please be respectful!!! Link:

How To Prepare Muskrat

To prepare the muskrat, I soaked it in salt water for about 3-4 days. I then boiled it over the fire in just plain water, seasoned it with my special blend and then fried it in olive oil and topped with butter until browned.

The pumpkin was peeled and boiled in water until soft. I then added maple sugar that I harvested last spring along with some pumpkin spice.

To convert this to pie simply blend until smooth and add 4 eggs. Bake at 425F for 15 minutes and then reduce to 375F for 30 minutes or until the pie does not stick to a knife when inserted.

America – Muskrat Love Lyrics
CAPTAIN AND TENNILLE

Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doin' the town and doin' it right
In the evenin'
It's pretty pleasin'

Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
And they shimmy
And Sammy's so skinny

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love

Nibbling on bacon, chewin' on cheese
Sammy says to Susie "Honey, would you please be my missus?"
And she say yes
With her kisses

And now he's ticklin' her fancy
Rubbin' her toes
Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes
As they wriggle, and Sue starts to giggle

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love

La da da da da ...
