  Stir in the cinnamon, cloves, ginger, mustard, and
  cayenne pepper.  Continue to simmer over low heat for
  2 hours. Stir regularly with wooden spoon to prevent
  scorching.  Add the black pepper and salt to taste.
  Remove and discard the bay leaves.  Cool and ladle
  into clean, hot, half pint jars, leaving a 1/2 inch
  head space. Seal and process in a water bath for 10
  minutes.
