Whats Your Favorite Rabbit Recipe?

[xdawg]

About Canning....

Have you all notice that it takes the rabbit taste/smell away? Also, do you soak or chill your meat before hand? And, have you ever canned without the bones, does it make a difference?

Thanks,
Jack

Ps.... What all could a man add to the meat in the can (prior to sealing) to enhance flavor

I know when we can the venison we usually add a toe or two of garlic or some onion to the jar as we're packing it with the meat.You could probably add any spice that you enjoy the flavor of but I would start out sparingly with it as the meat absorbs what ever you add for the canning process. As was said above , canning the deer takes all the gameiness out of the meat and you can't tell it from beef. We do the deer at 15 lbs. presure for 45 min. in the presure cooker. If you use the old boiling water (cold packing) method , it takes 4 hours to do the same thing. But if you don't have a presure cooker , that will work just fine.Either way you just have to be sure that all your jars seal as they cool. If you get one once in a while that doesn't seal, you just refrigerate it and eat it up soon as it will spoil in the jar if not sealed. CHH

I used to can trout the same way except before I canned it I smoked it till it was tacky not fully smoked otherwords then I would can it. That really cooked the smoked flavor in when I canned it with the preasure cooker. In the fish it disolved the bones so there was no bones at all by time it got done canning it.

Only thing different is I used pint jars.

But I bet Rabbit would be awful tastey this way too.

We started using our turkey fryer last year. We quarter them up, batter them up or flower them then throw them in the fryer. Locks in all juices.

quater the meat. get out your slow cooker and 1 jar of ketchup and 1 jar of geape jelly. a couple fresh cloves of garlic, put it all in cooker and cook for 4 to 6 hrs. i first started using this recipe with kalbosi (sp?)

it is like barbacue. give it a try you will be suprised.

Some tasty sounding recipes here. We like making rabbit salad and eating it on toast. Make it just like you would chicken salad.

I roll rabbit in flour, and do a quick fry, just enough to brown. Then get a couple packs of brown gravy mix, and double the water it calls for, put in crock pot, add rabbit, and cook overnight. If you want to get fancy, add some mushrooms, and diced onion.

I'm considering making a rabbit stew with all the veggies and canning it.... Has anyone ever tried that?

Rabbit salad is my personal favorite. I boil 2 rabbits until the meat begins to fall off the bone. I then boil 2 eggs until fully cooked. Add 1 tablespoon of sweet relish and 1 to 2 spoonfuls mayonaisse and mix together.

You can eat them on a sandwich or with crackers as an appetizer.

Pressure cook for 30 min to tenderize the fry in butter with onions. My son calls the legs " Meat on a Stick ". Also try making rabbit noodle soup just substitute rabbit for chicken believe me it is good.

Tommyg,
I also can all my rabbit but ive never had much luck getting it out of the jar in one piece so I could fry it. I usually just make stew or rabbit and noodles. I started out boning out the meat and then canning it but now all I bone out is the loins on the back and just throw them in the jar with all the legs. How long do you pressure cook your jars and at what pressure?? I cook them for 75 minutes at 10 lbs pressure. Maybe the reason they fall all apart on me is the amount of time and pressure im cooking them at. Just curious....

We use a regular canner not a pressure canner,we boil them 4 hrs. The pieces come out whole if you are careful.

Never canned Rabbit with veggies but we can Deer with veggies,makes a good quick meal with canned Ramps.

tommyg..your right ! pretty hard to beat. melts in your mouth ! And just like venison, you can do so many different things with it. From fry, stew,gravy, BBQ . The best part is it's all fully cooked out of the jar so you can whip something up in a hurry. CHH

I am like you always looking for a good rabbit recipe. I tried one the other day that is all over the internet. White Chile , but instead of chicken i used rabbit. It is really good !
