Place rabbit pieces in deep pot and cover with cool water. Add 1/4 cup of vinegar to water and bring to a boil. Let boil 5 minutes. THROW THIS WATER AWAY! Again, cover rabbit with cool water and add 1/4 cup vinegar, 2 tsp. salt, onion, cloves, bay leaves, and allspice. Cook until almost tender and then add raisins and brown sugar.
