Hare, to Truss A

Clean the vent, and rinse it well with lukewarm water. Wipe the inside, fill it with forcemeat, and sew it up securely. Cut off the forelegs at the first joint, and the sinews under the legs, and bring both the hind and fore-legs forward towards the head. Fasten them close to the body with a skewer run through them and the body as well. Keep the head back with a skewer put in the mouth through the head, and between the shoulders. Skin the ears, and leave them entire. Pass a string round the body, from skewer to skewer, and fasten it over the back.
