Ingredients
- two ounces of saltpetre
- half pound of brown sugar
- one pint of barrel salt
- two tongues
- one teacup of molasses
Directions
For two tongues, make a brine of two ounces of saltpetre, half pound of brown sugar, one pint of barrel salt, one teacup of molasses, water enough to cover them. Let them stand in a crock, well kept under the brine, for ten days. When ready to use, boil two or three hours ; skin and eat cold. This brine can be used as long as it keeps sweet, and is good to keep hams or dried beef in.
