Recipe Hasenpfeffer Rabbit Stew Amish Cooking Recipes

Soak rabbits in wine, covered for at least 8 hours. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Place salt, pepper, ginger, and flour in a bag. Shake pieces of rabbit in this mixture until well covered. Put shortening in a heavy skillet. Fry rabbit until golden brown on all sides. Put carrots, potatoes, celery root, onion, and water in a 2-quart saucepan. Add the browned rabbit and bring to a boil. Cover. Reduce heat to low and simmer for approx. 2 hours. Remove rabbit and add the cream. Heat thoroughly. Pour sauce over the rabbit and serve at once.
If you prefer a sweeter taste, add 1/3 cup grape or currant jelly with the cream.
