Season with brown sugar, salt, pepper, seasoning salt, thyme, chili flakes, cloves, allspice, onion and celery. Add water and cassareep, and stir to blend. Float cinnamon sticks and bay leaf on top. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to simmer at least two hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone. Before serving, remove cinnamon sticks and bay leaf. Serve with Guyanese bread. Bring to a boil in the pot once daily to preserve. To keep pepperpot from spoiling, avoid dipping used utensils in the pot. Will post the picture of the end result later
