Bullock's Tongue, Pickled and Baked

Prepare the following ingredients:--Two ounces of bay salt, one ounce of saltpetre, a few cloves, a blade of mace, and some allspice, all pounded together; add them to six ounces of salt, and three ounces of coarse brown sugar; mix well, and rub it into the tongue, and turn it every day for fifteen days, then put it into the oven with some butter over it, in pieces, and a common crust over all. Bake until very tender; try it with a wooden skewer--if it offers no resistance it is ready. Peel, and straighten it out on a board, and when cold, glaze and send to table with a ruffle round the root. Probable cost, 5s. to 6s.
