MINCEMEAT (another way) (Procure a neat's-tongue)

Procure a neat's-tongue; parboil it; take a pound and a half of it, and chop it very fine; shred finely a pound and a half of good beef suet; stone a pound of raisins; pare and core five apples, and take the thin rind of one lemon; chop up the three last-mentioned ingredients very fine, and mix them in a large enamelled pan. Add a pound of sifted loaf-sugar, two pounds of currants, well cleaned, an ounce of cloves, finely beaten, the juice of three lemons, and a table-spoonful of orange-flower water. Mix all these ingredients thoroughly together, and keep them in a covered pan until required.
