Pete's V-8 Vegetable Juice image

This is a friend's home canned version of V-8 that we love. Use it for a pick me up or a great bloody mary. The vegetables can be altered to taste. You could add horseradish if you like. We personally don't add the leak and modify the allspice to 1/2 tsp for the whole batch instead of per quart as Pete did.

Time 1h30m

Yield 7 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 quarts tomatoes, quartered
8 stalks celery & leaves, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced
3 small onions, chopped
2 hot peppers
1 leek
1 cup carrot, chopped
1 cup green pepper, chopped
1/2 teaspoon allspice, per jar
1 lemon (sliced into 7 wedges)
Worcestershire sauce
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Mash your tomatoes a bit with a potato masher or even just squeeze to make some juice to cook inches.
  • Simmer all vegetables for 30 minutes or until veggies are soft enough to grind. (This is why your carrots, peppers, and celery need chopped small - I use the food processor).
  • Once soft, run though a fine sieve, juicer, or food mill.
  • Ladle into 1 quart jars leaving 3/4 inch of headspace and add to each quart:.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt. (optional).
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice.
  • 1 teaspoon worcestershire (we use 1 tablespoon, but like it salty and bitey).
  • dash of pepper (optional).
  • Wipe rims clean, and place lids and rings onto jars. Process for 30 minutes.
