Hasenpfeffer
There is an old
Pennsylvania German saying, “Do is’s wo d’r Haws im pef’r
sits.” (Here is where the rabbit sits in the pepper.)
2 - rabbits, cut up
3 - cups vinegar
3 - cups water
1 - large onion, sliced
1/4 - teaspoon red pepper
1/2 - teaspoon ginger
1 - teaspoon salt
1/4 - teaspoon cloves
2 - slices lemon
2 - Tablespoons butter
2 - Tablespoons all-purpose
flour
- Skin and clean the rabbits.
- Cut in pieces, place in a large bowl,
cover with vinegar and water.
- Let stand a day or two, adding sliced
onion, red pepper, ginger, salt, and cloves.
- On the third day, place the rabbit in a
stockpot and cover with fresh water, add the lemon slices.
(Lemon keeps the flesh white.)
- Boil 60 minutes or until the meat is
tender. Remove from the kettle.
- Dip the pieces of rabbit lightly in
flour and dry in hot fat, browning quickly.
- Cover and steam gently until thoroughly
cooked.
