...Rabbits and especially the large hares look appetizing roasted whole...
... In this recipe one may marinate hare for two to three days with your
favorite marinade. If you do marinate, use the strained marinade instead of
the wine and the vinegar.

Mix the salt, pepper, and the two herbs and rub it all on and inside the
hare. Truss the front legs and in doing so, tie on slabs of salt pork over
the saddle [Note this step adds fat to help soften the meat].
In a shallow roasting pan, roast the hare uncovered for about 30 minutes
in a 450 degree F oven. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees and roast another
45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove the hare and keep warm.
Place the roasting pan and contents over a medium heat. Add the wine,
vinegar, onion and stock and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes. Add the jelly,
cream, pepper (taste for salt) and quickly dissolve jelly. Stir in the
flour and water paste and let it thicken a bit before serving in a
sauceboat.
