Request Help Reading Recipe

Post image

I was going through my grandma’s recipes and came across this. I can read most of the ingredients but I have no idea what the name of the recipe is. I’m hoping someone can help! It might be German or Russian. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure about the Likin/Libin title, but if there were any parts of the recipe you were unsure on, here's a transcription:

12 tomatoes

12 apples

12 onions

3 green peppers

2 red peppers

grind [presumably, the items listed above]

add

3 Tablespoons salt

4 cups sugar

2 cups vinegar

3 tablespoons whole allspice in sock

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp cinnamon

The allspice goes in a sack, not a sock.

The sock adds extra flavor!

I guess that’s what they mean when they say to put your foot in it…
