To 100 parts of water, dissolve 4 pts. of salt, 2 of brown sugar, 1 of Barbadoes tar, 1 of spirits of wine. After it has been well mixed and has stood for several days, take 3 tablespoons mixed with the salt and saltpetre necessary to cure an ordinary ham, and rub well in.
TO DRESS CALF’S HEAD AS TERRAPIN.
_Contributed by Mrs. Richard Gilpin, Philadelphia._
Take a head prepared and cleaned. Soak the head in water, changing several times, till thoroughly clean. Take out brains and tongue, then cover with water and boil 30 minutes. Then cut up meat in small pieces, save a bowl full of the liquor the head was boiled in, put away till ½ hour before using. Have ready the yolks of 6 eggs boiled hard, 2 tablespoons of browned flour, and beat together with ½ lb. of butter. Put the meat in the pot with the liquor and when hot stir in the flour. Stir together and give it a boil. Last of all, add a teacup of cream, and when ready to serve dash in a glass of wine. Serve very hot.
