Suckling Pig for an Elegant Holiday Dinner
One-Spot's litter of four Duroc-Duroc-Tamworth piglets was born on November 18 which will be perfectly timed to have just the right age for Suckling Pig for your Christmas or New Years dinner!
About the size of a turkey, these pigs will provide a unique meal for your family and your guests.
You may never taste meat as good again! You already know that our pigs are raised, free-ranging on quality pasture into which we've planted squash, carrots, sun-chokes, and a myriad of other delicacies. They also enjoy home-grown produce (heritage seeds grown in our own animal-enriched soil) as well as certified organic grain. We mindfully avoid GMO-contaminated food and we use no herbicides or pesticides on our land.
So you can be sure that you'll be eating meat as pure as we can still grow it!
Most Americans are not familiar with suckling pig, and so if you need a little inspiration, here are a couple of recipes you can examine:
The Food Network's Roast Suckling Pig.
All Recipes has another recipe for Roast Suckling Pig.
About.com offers this recipe for a Roast Suckling Pig Recipe - Cochinillo Asado.
You can buy suckling pigs online. I'll post these web sites to give you an idea as to the sizes and costs charged by these online stores. I see nothing on either web site that speaks to the quality of feed that went into the meat they sell. I list this only to provide you with a means by which to learn more about this meat.

Suckling Pig Lechon
This chef cooked his pig for 5 hours over the charcoal before pulling it at
175 deg F. He reported that "the meat was very tender and moist -- absolutely delicious!"
As one would stuff a chicken, the cavity of the suckling pig was stuffed with lemon grass, onions, garlic and "lots of" soy sauce before being sewn up.
