Sprinkle 7 pounds sliced tomatoes with salt. Let stand for 24 hours and soak for same length of time to get brine out. Drain and allow 4 pounds of sugar, 1 ounce of cinnamon, 1 ounce of cloves and enough water to cover.

Boil this and pour over tomatoes. Let stand for 24 hours and then bring to a boil. Put in a large jar and tie cloth over top. Keep in a cool place away from the light.
