Tender rabbit meat, cooked in a flavorful broth infused with white wine, tarragon, and pearl onions, creates a dish that is both elegant and rustic. The addition of apples and cider brings a touch of sweetness and brightness, balancing the delicate flavors of the rabbit meat.

HOMEMADE APPLE CIDER BEEF STEW
It's especially nice to use this recipe in fall, when the weather gets crisp and Nebraska's apple orchards start selling fresh apple cider. This entree's subtle sweetness is a welcome change from other savory stews. We enjoy it with biscuits and slices of apple and cheddar cheese. -Joyce Glaesemann, Lincoln, Nebraska

GAME STEW WITH CIDER AND APPLES
I had this in a medieval knight's pub in Torquai ten years ago. The cider is not apple juice like it would be in the US but actually it's British alcoholic cider. Not Strongbow, though, but some sweeter cider with only 4 percent alcohol. For the game use any mix of rabbit, hare, partridge, pheasant and venison or if you don't...
