of salt, one gallon of water, a teacupful
of brown sugar, and a tablespoonful of
saltpeter. Let the tongues lie ten days
in this brine. Take them out, and trim
ming them shapely at the large end,
put them on to boil in only enough
water to cover them we'll Skim all
the impurities off that rise to the sur
face. When the tongues are well done
take them up, and let the water in the
kettle continue to boil until reduced to
about half-pint- Peal the skin off
the tongues, and then fit them together
in the bottom of a two-quart tin bucket,
the small end of one fitting into the
large end of the other. Pour over them
the little liquor left in the kettle, and
when cold the mold can be turned out,

lghtful relish for the tea or supper
