PULLED RABBIT

This is a great recipe for domestic rabbit. Tastes like pork but healthier. Makes about 5 lbs. Freezes well. Dr. Pepper is also good, as is Canada Dry so other soda should also work.

4. BBQ rabbit sandwiches: Mix 1/2 cup or more BBQ sauce (I use Sweet Baby Ray's original) with 2 cups shredded rabbit until coated and bake covered at 350 for 20 minutes. Serve on buns with more BBQ sauce, cole slaw, or pickles.

SMOKED RABBIT

Rabbit meat has the tendency to get dry when smoked, so you'll want to plan ahead and not skip the brining process. First bite in and you'll see that it was worth the wait.
