gullets, rub the tongues all over with coarse sugar or real West India
molasses, and let them lie twenty-four hours; then take
Juniper berries 1 oz.
Black pepper, ground ½ oz.
Sal prunelle ½ oz.
Treacle 1 lb.
mix, and rub with it three days, turning them daily; then add
Bay salt 9 oz.
Common or rock salt 12 oz.
rub three days, and turn the meat daily for a week, when you may dry it
and smoke with beech and fern or grass turfs. The above proportions are
for one fine tongue of eight or nine pounds.
