AHAH!! ...my Mother's recipe ....and she knew what she was doing. Immerse tongue in about 1/2 gallon water to which was added 1/2 cup cider vinegar, a TBS pickling spice, and a small onion. Simmer for several hours, covered. When tender, a knife will easily pass through the flesh. Remove and rinse. While still hot, peel off the skin; if you wait until cool, peeling will be difficult. After peeling, allow to cool to room temperature, then refridgerate. When chilled, the tongue will be firm, and slice well. Thinly slice and make sandwiches on rye bread; a hot mustard (NOT jalapeno ....but with a naturally hot mustard powder prep.) adds character. Trust me!! It's great!
Sounds exactly how my Mom fixed it. (She's from Cedar Key so it must be a Florida recipe.). It was particularly tasty with a little mustard on Ritz crackers.
