No ratings yet

Ingredients 2 ingredients

  1. one salt
  2. Water

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Method

  1. Boil a medium sized tongue three hours, or until so tender a broom corn will go through it easily;
  2. skim frequently when it begins to boil.
  3. When first removed from the fire skin it and set away to cool.
  4. If a pickled tongue, the water should be cold when put on to boil;
  5. if a fresh one salt thoroughly half an hour before taking it up.
