Barbecued Rabbit

  Recipe by: Housekeeping In Old Virginia

  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.
