Recipe and commentary by Joanne Linehan from the article "Peaches in the Summertime, Apples in the Fall" from the June-July 2022 issue.

“Lion poppers, spruce grouse, venison shanks…I always try to feed our guests something they haven’t had before. I won’t shoot an animal if we don’t need the meat, but we usually need the meat. I love to serve game.”
