1 tablespoon Olive Oil

1 cups ramps, thinly sliced (best if using white part only)

3 cups sliced apples

salt if desired

1 tablespoon honey

(a little water if needed)

Put oil in iron skillet and fry the ramps until tender. Add apples, honey and salt if desired. Cover and steam for about 10-15 minutes. Stir this every once in awhile and add a bit of water if it begind to stick.

This dish is great with any wild game like racoon, possum, boar, deer or bear.

If you find that your wild game was a little old (meaning age) the meat will sometimes be tough. You can take the meat and boil it first. Cut it into pieces and then fry it as you would chicken. This will sometimes make the meat a little more tender.

Boil a squirrel like you would do chicken for dumplins. Make sure it is cooked thoroughly. Add salt and pepper to taste as squirrel is cooking.

While this is cooking, make some biscuit dough. (2 cups self rising flour, 1/3 cup lard or shortening and 1 cup buttermilk) Get a small amount of dough with fingers and roll in your palms, drop this in the boiling water. I like to thicken this up by adding some of the boiling water to the last bit of the dough mixture. I then add this to the pot of dumplins.

You can add a small piece of hamhock to the squirrel while it is boiling and it gives it a good flavor. Remove this before you add the dumplins.
