Remove the cloth for the last bit and brown it up. Works great! “Life is life and fun is fun, but it's all so quiet when the goldfish die.”

The one and only time I tried frying, I fried it to a crackly crisp. Since then, I just bake a ham. I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

A mixture of JD barrel chips and sassafras and it should be good. Bill You do not have to have had a psychotic episode to work here, it just saves time!

Cover the outside with mixture of butter,olive oil, salt, black and white pepper. When you slice it, it oozes it is so moist. Use the drippin's in my giblet gravy. When I am done eating it, take the carcass and leftover meat and make smoked turkey and andouile sausage gumbo. Yummy.
