Recipe - Roast Possum With Spiced Apples And Sweet Potatoes

Flour
Salt and freshly ground
black pepper
1 teaspoon Thyme
1 Possum; dressed, washed, and
patted dry (see recipe for
"How to Prepare Possum"
One half cup Red wine
1 One fourth cup Water
4 Sweet potatoes; pared and
split lengthwise
4 Apples; pared, cored, and
halved
1 cup Brown sugar
One half teaspoon Allspice
Three fourths teaspoon Ground cinnamon
One half teaspoon Nutmeg

Mix flour, salt, pepper, and thyme and rub inside and outside the
animal. Place on rack in roasting pan. Add the wine and water, cover
tightly, and roast in a preheated 350 degree oven for about an hour.
Pour off all but a cup of the liquid. Lay the sweet potatoes in the pan,
cover, and continue roasting 45 minutes. Now lay in the cored and halved
apples amid the sweet potatoes and sprinkle both fruit and vegetables with
a mixture of the sugar and the spices.
Continue to roast, with the roaster now uncovered, for another 30
minutes, or until the possum is tender.
