My grandpa came to this country from a little town in Bavaria, Germany in the 1920's. He brought so many custom's with him and I cherish them all. He was an avid hunter and this was one of his recipes. Growing up this was one of those annual meals with the whole family. Wild rabbit is the best, but it can be made with tame....

1 Tbsp salt
1 tsp pickling spices
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 c sugar
1/3 c all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3 Tbsp shortening
1/4 c all purpose flour

  • 2. Drain rabbit pieces, reserving marinade. Dry on absorbent paper. Strain the marinade. Toss out the contents left in the strainer.

  • 6. Add 1/4 cup of flour to 1/2 cup of the reserved marinade. Blend well. Pour 1/2 of this flour mixture into cooking liquid, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil. Gradually add only what is needed of the remaining flour mixture for desired consistency. Bring to a boil after each addition. After the final addition, reduce to medium heat and cook 3 to 5 minutes.
  • 7. Serve rabbit with the gravy. This is good with oven roasted potatoes and onions and cooked cabbage.

MARINATED RABBIT STEW

Have the skin removed and rabbit opened and drawn. Disjoint as you would a chicken. If the 'wild' flavor is unfavorable, cover with cold water in a saucepan, add green celery tops, 1 onion, 3 whole cloves and 3 whole allspice and cook slowly for 10 minutes. Drain immediately and then proceed with recipe.
