Tongues To Cure No 1 Recipe

Take two fine bullocks' tongues; wash them well in spring water; dry

them thoroughly with a cloth, and salt them with common salt, a quarter

of a pound of saltpetre, a quarter of a pound of treacle, and a quarter

of a pound of gunpowder. Let them lie in this pickle for a month; turn

and rub them every day; then take them out and dry them with a cloth;

rub a little gunpowder over them, and hang them up for a month, when

they will be fit to eat, previously soaking a few hours as customary.
