On of my favorite meals of all time, is rabbit spaghetti. My mom would take the rabbit and fry it until almost done. While doing that she would start the making of home made spaghetti sauce with pickling spice and all. When the sauce was done, she would take the fried rabbit and put it in the sauce and then simmer it for hours, or until the meat feel off the bones of the rabbit. The best tasting dish I know of.

To stop the acid... rerinse with baking soda to neutralize. Pappy is right it does have a bit of a smell, but much less than rotting pelts. :laugh:
I raise tons of rabbits, if anyone wants some dried salted ones let me know...we can work out a trade. I have about 25 to slaughter tomarrow.

Alright all I had time to skin was 6 and my friend did one ( quite poorly) and put them in the acid. It doesn't smell too bad yet. I will keep an update going

Make sre to stirr them every day. If done right the dermal and skin should peel apart almost in a thin sheet.
