Ingredients
  

  • ½ pound bacon, diced
  • 3 pounds rabbit meat, cleaned and cut into pieces
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup finely chopped shallots
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 cup dry red wine
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
  • 1 tablespoon currant jelly
  • 10 black peppercorns, crushed
  • 1 bay leaf
  • ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed

Gravy

  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ⅛ teaspoon dried thyme, crushed

Instructions
 

  • Gather all ingredients.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet; cook and stir over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate; set aside.
  • Sprinkle rabbit with salt and coat with flour, shaking off excess.
  • Cook rabbit in bacon fat in the skillet over medium heat until browned. Transfer rabbit to a plate and set aside. Drain excess grease, leaving 2 tablespoons fat in the skillet.
  • Sauté shallots and garlic in fat in the skillet until tender, about 4 minutes.
  • Add wine, water, and bouillon. Bring to a boil, then stir in jelly, peppercorns, bay leaf, and rosemary.
  • Return rabbit and bacon to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer until rabbit is tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove bay leaf and discard. Place rabbit on a warm platter; cover to keep warm while preparing gravy.
  • Make gravy: Stir lemon juice into cooking liquid in the skillet. Mix together water and flour in a small bowl; stir mixture into the skillet over low heat and simmer until thickened. Stir in thyme.
  • Pour gravy over rabbit or serve in a gravy boat on the side.
