 to 6 hours. Drain. Heat and stir sugar in vinegar
 until dissolved. Tie mustard seed, allspice, celery
 seed, and cloves in a spice bag. Add to vinegar with
 tomatoes and onions. If needed, add minimum water to
 cover pieces. Bring to boil and simmer 30 minutes,
 stirring as needed to prevent burning. Tomatoes should
