1
Clean, dress and cut up squirrels and chickens. (If your hunter are not ardent squirrel hunters you can increase the number of chickens used. If using all chickens you will need 24)

3
Chop salt pork, fry out and add pork drippings to boiling mixture.

5
Add cabbage and seasonings, and cook 1 hour, until stew is thick and flavors well blended.
