2 pounds fully ripe plums
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon allspice
6 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 bottle liquid fruit pectin
Pit but do not peel the plums. Cut in pieces and chop fine. Add spices if desired. Measure 3 1/2 cups fruit into a very large saucepan.
Add sugar and vinegar to the fruit in saucepan and mix well. Place over high heat, bring to a full rolling boil, and boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and at once stir in liquid fruit pectin. Stir and skim for 5 minutes to cool slightly, to prevent floating fruit. Ladle quickly into glasses. Cover relish at once with 1/8 inch hot paraffin.
