Pour pickling spice into a square of cheese cloth and tie into bundle with string.

Add the meat and marinate in a cool place overnight.
Cook all day on low heat.
Remove meat and spice bag.
Add crumbled gingersnaps.
Whisk or stir until gingersnaps form a smooth gravy.
Add gingersnaps as needed to thicken to desired consistency.
Taste, and add additional salt and/or sugar to suit individual taste.
Return meat to pot and cook a little longer, so that flavor of gravy penetrates meat.
