1 pint of second stock.
2 tablespoonfuls of cream.
2 oz. of butter.
2 dessertspoonfuls of flour.
Salt.
A few drops of lemon juice.
_Method._--Cut the rabbit into neat joints and fry them in the butter.
Then remove them and fry the onion and apple, sliced.
Mix the curry powder and flour smoothly with the stock.
Put it into a stewpan; stir and boil three minutes.
Put in the rabbit and add the onion and apple, which should be rubbed through a hair sieve.

If a dry curry is liked, remove the rabbit when tender, and boil and reduce the sauce to half the quantity, leaving only sufficient to coat the pieces of rabbit well.
Serve nicely cooked rice with the curry (_see_ Rice for Curry).
