5-6lbs.Pumpkin,pared
    1 tablespoon cinnamon sticks, broken
    1 pint of cider vinegar
    I teaspoon whole cloves
    3 lbs. sugar
    2 pieces crystallized ginger

Directions:
Cut the pumpkin into 1-inch cubes.
Combine the vinegar and sugar, bring to a boil and simmer until the sugar is dissolved. 
Place the cloves, cinnamon and ginger in a J-cloth and tie shut. 
Add to the syrup and boil for 5 minutes. 
Add the pumpkin and bring the mixture back to a fast boil. 
Boil over low heat exactly 25 minutes, stirring often. 
Remove the spice bag.

This yields 5 to 6 pints of pickles.
