Since I have a Havahart squirrel trap - that I use in order to save my fruit from invasion. I usually haul them off to a park about 2 miles away. But fricassee sounds like an interesting alternative :-)MarkNDenvernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33725246.post-74569044202934834972010-07-19T14:16:40.683-06:002010-07-19T14:16:40.683-06:00PS Mark, if you want that recipe for squirrel fric...PS Mark, if you want that recipe for squirrel fricassee, just let me know! ;-)Jocelyn H.

I'll do some batches in the oven, too---I don't want any of this fruit to go to waste!Jocelyn H.

I belong to FROG (Front Range Organic Gardeners) and one of our members sent out an email inviting friends to come over and pick some - she said that she has three large trees that are full.<br /><br />My peach tree is loaded - I just have to keep the squirrels from making the first move on getting them. It will be a couple more weeks before they will be ready. Did not get any last year - but in 2008 I had a lot.<br /><br />I like to dry mine for winter use...MarkNDenvernoreply@blogger.com
