Rabbit tips? Are these like sirloin tips, but a bit smaller? :-)

It sounds like you already have your recipes picked out (redacted?) but
the recipes in this file in the FOOD section of my files might give you
some sources of how other recipes cook rabbits:
rabbit-dishes-msg (37K)  4/ 2/99    Period rabbit and hare recipes.

It really sounds like a lot more work without an electric blender
or food processor but you might want to look at this file:
almond-milk-msg   (47K)  5/27/99    Making almond milk. Recipes.
Deskinning nuts

How about grinding the almonds to powder ahead of time and then mixing
with water or wine at Pennsic?
