1/2 t. cloves
1/2 t. celery seeds

*I've never made these on my own, but I used to help my grandmother make them when I went to visit her on the farm growing up. Precious memories : )

**My brother says he doesn't like onions, but when he was little he always wanted the "strings" (onions) out of the pickle jar! LOL
