INSTRUCTIONS
Combine eggs, flour, milk and salt; mix well. Add alligator cubes, stirring to coat. In two quart deep fryer, heat oil to 350 degrees. Deep fry alligator a few pieces at a time until golden brown. Drain well. In a four quart saucepan, combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, cornstarch, tomato sauce, vinegar, corn syrup, garlic salt and pepper. Stir well. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Stir in alligator chunks, pineapple, bell pepper, celery and onion. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Serve over hot rice. Serves 6. (Alligator is extremely virsatile and can be used in recipes that call for chicken, veal or pork. As Canadian prairie alligators tend to be rare and allusive, I'm going to try this recipe substituting pork for the alligator. ~ FHT) From the September/October 1990 issue of the Louisiana Conservationist, P.O.

A Message from our Provider:
“Let us thank God heartily as often as we pray that we have His Spirit in us to teach us to pray. Thanksgiving will draw our hearts out to God and keep us engaged with Him; it will take our attention from ourselves and give the Spirit room in our hearts. #Andrew Murray”
