Cooking, German
Preparation: The roast is pounded, the surface scored or cut in
squares and the meat placed into a deep pot or jar. Vinegar, pepper,
juniper berries, cloves and onion slices are put in and left with the
meat for 3 days. After this time take the roast out and roast it in a
deep roaster with all that was on it in the jar, except the vinegar.
Instead of that, pour on the red wine and bouillon, season with salt
and roast in the oven for 3½ hours. Then strew the roast with rye
bread crumbs which have been mixed with ½ lb. of butter, pulverized
cloves and 3 tablespoonfuls of sugar. Roast it 30 minutes longer so
the crust will get hard and brown. In the meantime add the flour mixed
with water to the gravy and cook it a while, then strain, add the meat
extract, cook again, taste for salt and spices and skim off the fat.
Remarks: The remnants of roast are utilized in the same way as those
of pork roast.
No. 14—HOW TO SKIN A RABBIT.
Hang the animal up by its hind legs on two nails, rip the rabbit from
tail to throat, lengthwise. Take out the insides, cut the bile
carefully from the liver, retain the latter and the heart and lungs,
and throw away the rest of the intestines. Now separate the fur skin
from the inner skin, make a cut through the fur around each ankle,
pull the legs through, cut off the ears and pull the whole fur skin
down from the hind legs over the head.

⅛ lb. bacon for larding

1 pinch of pepper
½ pt. sour or sweet cream
1 tsp. of lemon juice

Preparation: The dressed rabbit is washed and dried, head, throat and
the skin from the belly and its fore paws are cut off and the joints
of its hind paws are chopped. The back and legs are larded with thin
slices of bacon. The butter is heated and the larded hare is placed
into it to roast for 45 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and baste
frequently with cream. If it is an old hare, it will require 1¼ hours
for roasting. Ten minutes before the hare is done, add the lemon juice
and the flour and stew 5 minutes, then pour in the water, leave the
hare in this gravy 5 minutes longer, then serve it with the strained
gravy.
