Step 1

Place a colander in a 2-quart glass measure or medium bowl. Place tomatoes in colander; sprinkle salt over tomatoes. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate 12 hours. Discard liquid.

Place cloves, allspice, and cinnamon on a small piece of cheesecloth. Gather edges of cheesecloth together; tie with string to make a pouch.
