- 1 Gather all ingredients.
- 2 Place bacon in a large skillet; cook and stir over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes.
- 3 Use a slotted spoon to transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate; set aside.
- 4 Sprinkle rabbit with salt and coat with flour, shaking off excess.
- 5 Cook rabbit in bacon fat in the skillet over medium heat until browned. Transfer rabbit to a plate and set aside. Drain excess grease, leaving 2 tablespoons fat in the skillet.
- 6 Sauté shallots and garlic in fat in the skillet until tender, about 4 minutes.
- 7 Add wine, water, and bouillon. Bring to a boil, then stir in jelly, peppercorns, bay leaf, and rosemary.
- 8 Return rabbit and bacon to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer until rabbit is tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
- 9 Remove bay leaf and discard. Place rabbit on a warm platter; cover to keep warm while preparing gravy.
- 10 Make gravy: Stir lemon juice into cooking liquid in the skillet. Mix together water and flour in a small bowl; stir mixture into the skillet over low heat and simmer until thickened. Stir in thyme.
- 11 Pour gravy over rabbit or serve in a gravy boat on the side.
