Sweet And Sour Tongue

• 1 veal or beef tongue
• 1 onion, large
• 3 tomatoes
• 1 lemon, juiced and zested
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• salt, to taste
• 2 allspice berries, crushed
• 1 clove
• 1/2 bay leaf
• 1 small garlic clove
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup raisins, golden or Muscat
• 1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped rough

1. Cover the tongue with boiling water and parboil for ten minutes.
2. Remove from the water and scrape off the tough skin.
3. Chop the onion and tomatoes and place in a heavy pot with the tongue and 3 cups of water.
4. Add the lemon juice and zest and honey. Cook the tongue for an hour.
5. Add the sugar, garlic and spices. Cook until tender.
6. Remove the tongue and let it cool. Strain the sauce, pressing through the onion and tomatoes. (She probably used a food mill.)
7. Rinse the dried fruit (isn't that an interesting direction?) and cook in the sauce until soft.
8. Peel off any skin that may have remained on the tongue, slice it and return to the raisin sauce.
9. Taste and correct for sugar or salt. When ready to serve, heat thoroughly.
