1 tablespoon allspice
1 tablespoon mustard seed

1 tablespoon cloves
1 tablespoon black pepper

1 cup brown sugar -- (packed)
1/2 cup kosher salt
3 cups cider vinegar
3 cups water
 

Preparation:

Bring the whole mixture to a boil on the stovetop, then let cool to room tempter. Put your poultry in, and marinate in the fridge for at least 24 hours, but a few days is even better. remove the bird and smoke it. Last winter I did a turkey like this, but because of bad weather was unable to cook it outside, so I just baked the thing in the oven. It was one of the best turkeys I ever had.
