Tongue and Prunes

Get a fresh beef tongue, parboil and skin it. Add one pound prunes, one pound raisins, one-quarter pound sugar, spices to the taste. Let it stew until perfectly well cooked. When nearly done, add one lemon.--Miss M. B. B. TO STEW DRIED APPLES, PEACHES, QUINCES, OR PEARS.

Take three pounds of dried fruit; wash it in lukewarm water, through three or four water, rubbing it hard. Pour on this five quarts boiling water; boil at least three hours. Just before taking form the fire, add two teacups nice brown sugar. Do not stir, except occasionally, to prevent sticking to the bottom. Try to cook the pieces of fruit separate, except the apples, which run through a colander and season with nutmeg. The other fruits need no seasoning.--Mrs. S.T.
