22 To dress a Loin of Mutton like Venison
Take the Bones out of a large loin of Mutton, and boil it with the Bones three quarters of an Hour, take a pint of gravy, add to it one gill of Port Wine, and two Anchovies, take off the Skin, put the Mutton into a Pan, the fat side upwards, let it stew for half an Hour, take it out, and score it with a Knife, as you would Pork, put on it grated Bread with Pepper and Salt, brown it with a salamander or against a quick Fire. Add to the sauce, a piece of Butter with Flour, the size of a Nutmeg, serve it with the sauce in the dish and eat it with Currant Jelly.
To cure Tongues
To three pounds of common salt, one gallon of Water, one pound of Salt Petre, one ounce of Armoniac Salt, one pound of brown Sugar, all boil'd together a quarter of an Hour, and scum'd, when cold put in the Tongues, they should first be put in common Salt and wiped dry before they go into the Pickle - they will keep a year. The Tongues should be laid in cold Water an Hour before they are used.
