Wash the back of the hare with the hind legs (or drumsticks), clean it properly, rub it with salt and lard it quite daintily with fine strips of bacon. Then put it in a pan, baste it with 15 dkg of hot butter, fry it quickly, add a few slices of onion, 1 bay leaf spice, a few grains of pepper and new spice, 2 cloves without heads (as they have a bitter savory form), a few juniper berries, 1 piece each of celery, parsley and beetroot, add 2 to 3 pieces of well ripened tomatoes, cut up and cleaned from the inner seeds and water, 1 piece of black bread crust, a little lemon peel and some freshly cooked veal bone broth, put it into the hot roasting tube and roast it at a low temperature for 1/2 hour, watering it diligently. After 1/4 hour of roasting, you can add 1 glass of white wine, or if you don’t have it, a little mild vinegar. Then turn the roast, baste the top with a little butter and let it roast for another 10 minutes until the bacon is nicely browned. Then carve the meat into pieces, press them firmly into the meat jars, pour the strained sauce over them and sterilize.
When used, the sauce is boiled with a little bit of sour butter and thickened with mixed cornstarch or flour.
