1 Tbsp whole cloves
5 3" sticks cinnamon
1 Tbsp whole allspice

and pour over rind; keep rind fully covered. Soak 8 hours or
overnight. Sterilize 6 (1-pint) jars. Keep hot until needed. Prepare
lids as manufacturer directs. Drain and rinse rind thoroughly with
cold running water. In a large kettle cover rind with water and

until rind is just crisp-tender. Drain thoroughly and set aside.

of cheesecloth. In washed kettle, combine spice bag, sugar, vinegar
and 2 cups water. Heat to boiling and cook 5 minutes or until
mixture is slightly thickened. Add rind and simmer 10-15 minutes
or until rind is clear. Remove from heat and discard spice bag.
Carefully pack rind into hot jars. Cover with boiling syrup leaving
1/4" headspace. Wipe jar rims, seal with hot lids and screw bands.
