Question

is jackrabbit edible?

Answer 1

I have never had wild rabbit
I think it would be tough and gamey

this site has lots of recipes:

Young Jackrabbit in Marinade
2 jackrabbits, sectioned
*Marinade for young jackrabbit
1 cup flour
1/8 tsp. garlic salt
1/8 tsp. onion salt or powder
1/8 black or white pepper
¾ cup cracker crumbs
Canola oil or margarine

Marinate sectioned rabbits for 24 hours in sealable plastic bag.
Discard marinade.
Add flour, garlic salt, onion salt, pepper and cracker crumbs to sectioned meat in bag. Seal bag and shake to coat meat.
Fry meat over low to medium heat in skillet with canola oil or margarine. Servings: 6-8

*Marinade for Young Jackrabbit
1 can beer
2 onions, sliced
Garlic powder, sprinkle
Paprika, sprinkle
¼ tsp. ground clove
¼ tsp. nutmeg
2 large bay leaves
Tarragon, pinch

Mix all ingredients together for a marinade that will help "tame" jackrabbit, which is a strong-flavored dark meat. This may be cooked separately and served on top of the meat.

Answer 2

Yes I do it all the time!!! We are are from the south we eat rabbit, squirrel, coon, deer & beaver. Just about anything that has a hunting season. THIS IS NOT A WRITTEN RECIPE BUT IT'S SIMPLE AND DELICIOUS: give me a minute to write it
Simply cut your rabbit into serving pieces, you can fillet the back so it is just meat, or it would take a lot of space. Any salt & pepper meat & flour real good. Brown your pieces in a little oil, brwon all sides. Set aside. Dump a couple tablespoons of flour in your grease drippings. Brown this on med till brown. Add 1 1/2 or 2 cups of water or chicken broth. Put the rabbit in either a dutch oven or baking dish. It doesn't matter which technique you use, pour the gravy you made over the rabbit. Cover and bake on 325 for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. It will be good and tender. You could also use a crock pot do everything the same, just cook it on low for 4 hours or 5 hrs.
You can also boil the pieces on low with onions & covered, like you would a chicken. When tender drop your favorite dumplings in. I usually roll my own out. Really good!!!
I sometimes cook floured pieces in an electric shillet on very low for an hour or more. It is the tenderest you can get them. I find it the best way if your just gonna fry it.

Answer 3

The answer is yes they are edible. If it is wild it will have very little fat The fat can have a slightly yellow colour to it if they have been eating grass and have a slightly gamey taste.
You can treat rabbit much like you do chicken. It is a very light meat. Make stews out of older ones and pie also. it is very nice in a casserole. You can bake them but as they don't have much fat you will need to cover them or put them in a closed dish. You can stuff them and spit them.
Use your imagination.

Yes if it is young. Here's a recipe for stew.

3 carrots, peeled, quartered
3 tomatoes, sliced
3 onions, peeled, quartered
1 turnip, peeled, quartered
4 tablespoons shortening
2 tablespoons flour
Water, boiling
Seasonings to taste
Instructions
Fry rabbits, carrots, onions and turnips in a frying pan with the shortening.
Empty contents of frying pan into a stew pan.
Sprinkle with flour.
Mix well.
Cover with boiling water.
Add tomatoes and seasonings.
Cover and let cook for about 45 minutes

Answer 5

They like lettuce & carrots & rabbit pellets & Evian water. There's all kinds of steak @ the grocery store for you. Add a baked potato w/ sour cream, mushrooms & onions on the steak, salad w/ ranch, garlic toast & cheesecake for the finale & you can't go wrong. Darn, I just made myself hungry.
