Smoke them
This is very easy. Clean the rabbit but leave it whole. Soak it overnight in brine, black pepper, brown sugar, bay leaves and your other favorites.
I like using apple wood for smoking. Just prune some off and place in the heating pan in the smoker.
Make sure it is fully cooked or finish in the oven. Let cool to room temperature and pull meat off and cut into chunks. Eat with good cracked wheat crackers, cheese and strong German beer.
This makes a really unique holiday appetizer. Many non-game eaters will tear into this. I also do this with pheasants for special family times during the holidays.
I wish you all good times with family during the holidays.
