This variation is a take on the most traditional version of the recipe. It is a simple roast with a wine sauce.

Rabbit was once far more common than chicken in working and middle-class kitchens in the previous century. Its simple flavor and ease of cooking made it a staple. Today, chicken has largely supplanted rabbit in our diet, and recipes for it have disappeared from our cookbooks. This is a roast rabbit variant with a fruit and cream sauce.

Sauerbraten is an ancient dish typically associated with Catholic regions of the Rhineland. In the distant past, old wine, i.e., vinegar, was used to preserve meat butchered throughout the week so that it could be sold for Sunday Roast at a reasonable price. Though most modern recipes use beef, pork was once the more common ingredient. This recipe replaces the traditional red wine with Apple Wine, a dry wine made from apples instead of grapes.
