2 lb. beef cubes
5 c. water
2/3 c. vinegar
1 tbsp. pickling spice
1/4 c. sugar
1 med. onion, sliced
10 gingersnap cookies

In large pot combine beef cubes, water, and vinegar. Bring to a boil. Add sugar and pickling spice (place spice in spice ball or cheesecloth before adding to pot). Boil about 1 hour adding onions the last 15 minutes.

After 1 hour remove spice ball from pot. Crumble 10 gingersnap cookies and add just enough water to make a paste. Add this mixture to the pot and simmer until thick.
