Skin and clean the muskrat and stand overnight in cold water containing a teaspoon of salt to each pint of water. Then fry the salt pork in the kettle in which it is to be cooked. Cut the muskrat in sections, rinse with cold water, dry with paper towels and place on top of the salt meat. Add sliced onion and a dash of red pepper. Pour in boiling water to the depth of an inch and a half. Cover and simmer until tender, about an hour. Thicken the gravy with a tablespoon each of four and butter creamed together; bring to a boil and pour over the muskrat. Serve with hominy and turnip greens.
