Cherry Walnut Relish

1 cinnamon stick
1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
1/4 teaspoon cardamom seeds
4 cups stemmed and pitted cherries (sour or sweet)
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
1 cup dried sour cherries
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 1/2 cups cider vinegar

Tie spices in a cloth bag or cheesecloth and tie to pot handle so
it hangs in the mixture.  Mix all other ingredients in non-reactive
pan and simmer for about an hour, or until the sauce thickens.  Stir
occasionally, to keep from sticking.  Ladle into sterilized half
pint jars, leaving 1/2" headspace and seal with two piece lids.
Process in BWB for 10 minutes.
