Sweet Pumpkin Chips

12 to 15 cup pumpkin, rind removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
10 lb. sugar
1 gal. vinegar
1 1/4 oz. whole cloves
1 1/4 oz. whole cinnamon

Tie spices in cheese cloth. Place cubed pumpkin in colander and pour boiling water
through until pumpkin is thoroughly hot. Plunge in very cold water and drain. Cook in
boiling syrup made with sugar, vinegar and spices. Remove each piece as it becomes clear.
When all are done, return to syrup and let stand in cool place overnight. Drain. Boil
syrup. Add pumpkin; bring to boiling point (do not boil). Repeat one more time. Fill
sterilized jars with chips. Add boiling syrup to 1/2-inch of top and seal.

A very good and pretty relish for Thanksgiving.
