Add tomato paste, raisin[s] & almonds, cover and cook at 150 C for about 30 minutes or until rabbit is tender. Add red currant jelly, adjust the seasoning & either thicken sauce with cornflour or reduce over a higher heat (190) with lid off, until sauce reaches desired consistency. It should not be too thick. I found that the sauce did not need thickening or reducing at all.
