The Pickled Camels' Lips recipe is an old family recipe, handed down from the archeolgist ancestor, W. A. Harsh. He spent much time in Egypt and returned with many interesting and unusual recipes. In the original recipe, he specified that the camel should be less than two years old, and had never been bricked. (If you do not know what that means, write for clarification.) The lips were to be removed within one hour after sacrificing the animal, or, preferably, when it was still alive. Females would require fewer days of marination and cooking. Sometimes male lips were non-existent, since they had given another some of their lip.

You must do as well as possible with the ingredients. In the orinigal recipe, spices available only in the upper Nile Valley were to be used. These included the ground seed of the Ramses cactus, extract of elephant dung, and asp a**. However, in U.S.A., we must do the best we can.

# 5 pounds camels' lips
# 4 gallons vinegar
# 1 cup mixed pickling spices
# 3 cups sugar
# 1 cup meat tenderizer
# 1 bottle of cream sherry

Place pickling spices in a cheesecloth bag and tie securely. Mix all remaining ingredients in a large stock pot. Add spice bag, cover and let stand for 24 hours. Remove camels' lips and test for tenderness. If your knife blade does not dull immediately when trying to slice them, proceed with slicing them into 1/8 inch slices. Drain all liquid into a large stockpot. Bring to a boil and add sliced camels' lips. Simmer for 3 days. Pour a small (4 oz) glass of cream sherry. Sip it slowly. Pour the rest of the bottle into the camels' lips. Adjust seasoning. Add equal amounts of sugar and water when mixture begins to dry out. When lips are tender, bring to a vigorous boil and pack into hot gallon jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space. Adjust 2 piece caps and process in water bath 1 hour. Makes 2 to 3 gallons, depending on the size of the lips. Best used to keep the peace in your household, i.e., "I think we will have pickled camels' lips for dinner tonight."

NOTES:

* Try to get lips from young camels, as they do not take as long to tenderize.
* Candied yak hooves are a nice addition and provide an earthy flavor that must be experienced!
* Do not taste test until lips have boiled thoroughly.
