Pickled Tongue

Wash the tongue well, place it on a dish or pan, with plenty of salt water over it, and turn it over every day for four or five days, so that every part of it may be evenly salted. After the fourth or fifth day, mix together two ounces of salt, one-half ounce of saltpeter, and one ounce of brown sugar, and rub the mixture well into the tongue. Turn it over every day for a fortnight, and it is then ready for use.
