INSTRUCTIONS

Here's a recipe for pickling spice, which I've used successfully to make
dill pickles: It's from a book called Better Than Store-Bought.
Wrap the cinnamon and gingerroot loosely in a piece of cloth and bash them
with a hammer until well crumbled. Discard any strongy parts of the ginger,
then mix with other ingredients.
