"Jugged Hare", Hunting the Hares of the Barossa Vineyards
#352742 - 27/04/21 09:15 AM

Jugged Hare is the recipe made from wild hare, red wine and blood, made in a "jug" or casserole, slow cooked. Barossa hares shot in the vineyards are already "marinated" by eating vine leaves.

Here is the article from many years ago.

Enjoy with a plate of hare casserole and a glass of red wine.

Thanks to Branxhunter for sending me the pdf of this article and others I wrote way back in the mid 1990's. Found his email again looking for the pdfs. Thanks for sending!

I've never read my own article. I have trouble reading my own stuff. Of course proof read it before sending to the editor, but unaware what changes he made to it. I have to finally read it.

I don't see many hares currently, probably shot heavily by the "investment plantation" vineyard neighbour and wasted, but I do have big "hares" than hop around in the vineyards. Sometimes a dozen of them. Maybe some "Jugged Roo" is in order.

The roos are here a lot nowadays. In the past when there was drought they come to places like this. I have some permanently here now. Even have had six RED roos, the plains roos, not the usual Eastern Grey Roos, and Euros/Wallaroos. Wallaroos are species smaller than the three main species of kangaroos. And in between roos and wallabies.

I'd forgotten about this recipe

Recipe calls for one hare to feed six at the table

Sarcasm and humour or someone's been hacked.

No doesn't feed six persons.

I'll need to weigh a skinned gutted, beheaded and feet cut off hare or two next time I shoot one. Haven't seen one for a while, except on the roads.

The European Hares we had in South Western Ontario ran 10 to 12 pounds live (dead) weight. The odd one was larger yet. My Belgium Shepherd dog got them all. He loaded them. I'd chop them (frozen) in 1/2 with a sickle and he'd get 1/2 one day, and 1/2 the next.
The snowshoe hares out West here, run about 1/2 again heavier than a cottontail - maybe 2 1/2 pounds. Just a guess.
Just looked at the picture of the young man with the brace of hares. Our snowshoe hares are the same to just barely smaller than those but have longer hind legs & larger feet..

PS: John;

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but do Euro hares taste anything like kangaroo?

No. Taste is difficult to define in words, if it doesn't taste like chicken.
