Lay the rabbit in salt and water half an hour, scald with boiling
water, wipe dry, grease with butter, and sprinkle with pepper and a
little salt. Lay it on the gridiron, turning often so that it may cook
through and through, without becoming hard and dry. When brown, lay on
a hot dish, butter plentifully on both sides, and add a little salt
and pepper. Set in the oven, while preparing four teaspoonfuls of
vinegar, one of made mustard, and one of currant jelly or brown sugar.
Pour this over the rabbit, rubbing it in, then pour over the gravy and
serve hot.--_Mrs. T._
STEWED RABBIT.
Cut up the rabbit and wash it. Put it in a stewpan and season it with
salt and pepper. Pour in half a pint of water, and when this has
nearly stewed away, add half a pint of Port wine, two or three blades
of mace, and a tablespoonful of flour, mixed with a quarter of a pound
of butter. Let it stew gently till quite tender, and then serve
hot.--_Mrs. C. C._
_Stewed Rabbit._
Cut a rabbit into eight pieces. After soaking in salt and water, put
it in a stewpan, with a slice of pork or bacon, and with more than
enough water to cover it. When nearly done, take out the pieces,
strain the water in which they have boiled, and return all to the
stewpan, with a teacup of milk, a little pepper, salt, chopped onion
and parsley. After this boils up, stir in a heaping tablespoonful of
butter, in which a tablespoonful of flour has been rubbed. Let it boil
up once more; then serve in a covered dish, with four hard-boiled eggs
sliced over it, and grated bread crumbs. The same receipt will answer
for squirrel.--_Mrs. T._
WILD TURKEY.
If the turkey is old, after it is dressed wash it inside thoroughly
with soda and water. Rinse it and plunge it into a pot of boiling
water for five minutes. Make a stuffing of bits of pork, beef, or any
other cold meat, plenty of chopped celery, stewed giblets, hard-boiled
eggs, pounded cracker, pepper, and salt, and a heaping spoonful of
butter. Work this well and fill the turkey. With another large
spoonful of butter grease the bird, and then sprinkle salt and pepper
over it. Lay in a pan, with a pint of stock or broth in which any kind
of meat has been boiled. Place in a hot oven. When it begins to brown,
dredge with flour and baste, turning often, so that each part may be
equally browned. Put a buttered sheet of paper over the breast, to
prevent dryness. When thoroughly done, lay on a dish, brown some
crackers, pound and sift over it, and serve with celery or oyster
sauce.--_Mrs. T._
_A Simpler Way to Prepare Wild Turkey._
Prepare the turkey as usual, rub the inside with salt and cayenne
pepper, and put in the baking-pan, with water enough to make gravy.
Cut up the gizzard and liver with a lump of butter and a spoonful of
cream. Mix with the gravy and serve hot.
