On the first day, boil rind until tender; drain.
Combine sugar, vinegar, oil of cloves and oil of cinnamon; pour over rind.
On the second day, drain the syrup; boil and pour back over rind.
Repeat on the third and fourth days.
On the fifth day, repeat. Place rind in jars, cover with syrup and seal.
