In large roasting pan, add all ingredients except the instant potatoes. Put the two ounces of pickling spice on a piece of cheesecloth and make a bag out of it; tie with string.

Bring to a boil and then cut heat back to simmer, 2 1/2 hours after the time is up, remove from stove and also remove spice bag and lemon pieces. Add instant potatoes to thicken. Be sure to use all of the mixture. May take 1 1/2 boxes of instant potato. Freeze what you do not use for future meals.
