One even tablespoonful of sugar ; one even teaspoonful of ground mustard ; one saltspoonful of Cayenne pepper ; one teaeupful of good vinegarDeviled Ham. Mix the sugar, mustard, and pepper thoroughly, and add the vinegar little by little. Stir it into the chopped ham, and pack it in small molds, if it is to be served as a lunch or supper relish, turning out upon a small platter and garnishing with parsley. For sandwiches, cut the bread very thin ; butter lightly, and spread with about a teaspoonful of the deviled ham. The root of a boiled tongue can be prepared in the same way. If it is to be kept some time, pack in little jars, and pour melted butter over the top. This receipt should have had place under "Meats," but was overlooked.
