   • In a large pot, combine all the ingredients.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
   • Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer.
   • Allow the mixture to simmer until it reaches the desired thickness, typically around 3 to 5 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and burning.

3. Sterilize the Jars:

   • While the relish is cooking, prepare your pint jars by washing them thoroughly with hot, soapy water.
   • Rinse the jars well, then sterilize them by boiling in a large pot of water for at least 10 minutes.

4. Canning Process:

   • Once the relish has reached the desired thickness, remove the cinnamon stick and clove.
   • Carefully ladle the hot relish into the hot, sterilized pint jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.
   • Wipe the jar rims with a clean, damp cloth to remove any residue.
   • Place the lids and rings on the jars, tightening them just until fingertip-tight.

5. Processing the Jars:

   • Place the filled jars into a boiling water bath canner, ensuring they are covered by at least 1 inch of water.
   • Bring the water back to a rolling boil, then process the jars for 15 minutes.
   • After processing, carefully remove the jars from the canner and place them on a clean towel to cool.

6. Final Steps:

   • Allow the jars to cool completely at room temperature.
   • Once cooled, check the seals by pressing down on the center of each lid. If the lid does not move or make a popping sound, the jar is sealed.
   • Label the jars with the date and store them in a cool, dark place for up to one year.
