spices and flour, then date sugar if desired.  Add flavoring and mix
again. Place in covered bowl or other container with tight lid;
refrigerate at least one week before using or canning.  (1/2 inch
head space, boiling water bath 20 min for pints after water returns
to boil, longer for altitudes over 1000 ft.)  If any jars fail to
seal, freeze for later use.

freezer containers or jars, leaving 1/2 inch at top.  Cover with
clean lids and place in sharp-freeze section of freezer until frozen.
