Recipe: Vegetable Juice Cocktail (like V8 juice)

VEGETABLE JUICE COCKTAIL

7 quarts fresh tomatoes
2 tbsp celery seed
2 to 3 peppers
3 to 4 onions
2 carrots
Lemon Juice
Salt
Sugar

Cook tomatoes.

Liquify other vegetables in blender or food processor and add to tomatoes along with celery seed. (If you need to, you can add just a little cooked tomato mixture to the blender to help liquify. That's what I did) Simmer 45 minutes.

Put through a food mill, return to pan and bring back to a simmer.

Pour hot into hot jars and to each pint jar add:

1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar

Seal jars and pressure can 35 minutes at 10 pounds of pressure.

Makes about 7 quarts
