Today, I am gathering recipes to try, since we will be deer hunting and small game hunting over the next few weeks. I use venison in many different ways already. But I am always up for a new recipe. I have never cooked a rabbit or pheasant so I need to find some recipes to cook then. Here are a couple that I think I will try after our next hunts.
Honey Roasted Pheasant
Ingredients:
2 1/2-3 lbs pheasants
honey
salt and pepper
granulated garlic powder
tarragon
thyme
1/4 cup lemon juice
Directions:
Preheat
oven to 500 degrees.
Place
the pheasant into a baking dish.
Pour
lemon juice over the pheasant.
Generously
spread the honey over the entire bird.
Season
the cavities of the pheasant generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder,
tarragon & thyme.
Lightly
sprinkle the outside of the pheasant with salt, pepper, garlic powder, tarragon
& thyme.
Place
into the bottom third of the oven & roast until done, which will be when
you puncture the bird & the juices run clear.
Be
careful not to over cook the pheasant, as it is a very dry bird with very
little fat.
Preheat oven to 500
degrees.
Place the pheasant into
a baking dish.
Pour lemon juice over
the pheasant.

I am finding more recipes for pheasant that I would like to try, than I want to try for rabbits. Maybe it is just a mental block because I don't think I have actually had rabbit before and I already know that I like pheasant. So here is the recipe that I am going to try for rabbit.

Place rabbits in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce
heat and cook 1 - 1 1/2 hours or until tender.
Remove meat from pot and allow to cool. Debone.
Place meat in a crockpot and add the rest of the ingredients adding the
sugar, salt and pepper to taste.
Cook on low all day.
Serve on buns or on the side.
I'll let you know how they turned out after I give them a try.
