Directions

For the Rabbit, mix sugar, rum, vinegar, oil, allspice, sea salt, thyme, garlic powder and crushed red pepper in small bowl. Place rabbit in large resealable plastic bag or glass dish. Add marinade; turn to coat well. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or longer for extra flavor.

Preheat grill to medium heat (325°F to 350°F) for indirect grilling. Remove rabbit from marinade. Discard any remaining marinade. Place rabbit on grill rack over unlit burner. Place foil packet over lit burner. Cover.

Spoon sweet potatoes into large bowl. Add remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter and cilantro; toss gently to coat. Serve rabbit with sweet potatoes.
