Baked Jack Rabbit If "jack" is old, after dressing, parboil for 3 to 5 minutes, adding about 1 teasp soda to the hot water, and then drain. Fasten slices of salt pork across the back of the rabbit, with •wooden toothpicks. This imparts a good flavor and prevents the drying out of the meat. Season and dredge well with flour, and put a few bits of butter around the rabbit in the pan, adding a very little water, and about 1 tablesp vinegar
