Boil and chop fine: 3 pounds of beef tongue or venison tongue. Add: 4 pounds suet, also chopped fine.





Then add:


4 pounds brown sugar


4 pounds raisins


3 pounds currants


4 pounds apples, chopped fine


1 pound finely sliced citron


1 tablespoon each of mace, cloves, and cinnamon


2 nutmegs (coarsely ground)





Mix with enough brandy to wet well. Keep moist and it will "keep" all winter.
