Add water barely to cover.

Bring quickly to a boil , cover , and simmer 20 minutes.

Drain.

Pack hot buds into 8 sterile half-pint canning jars.

Combine vinegar , brown sugar , salt , allspice , cinnamon , and cloves in a saucepan and bring to a boil.

Boil 3 minutes.

Pour pickling solution over buds , distributing spices equally.

Another thing you may do with them is to stuff them with ricotta cheese and serve them that way.
