Make Fresh Homemade V8 Juice Food

COPYCAT V8® JUICE

Steps:

• Process tomatoes, onion, 3 tablespoons and 1/2 teaspoon chopped celery, carrot, beet, green bell pepper, and garlic through a juicer.
• Stir vegetable juices, water, 1 1/4 teaspoons white sugar, lemon juice, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper together in a large pot. Bring to a boil and cook until flavors blend, about 20 minutes.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Ladle juice into a quart jar. Stir 1 tablespoon white sugar and 1 teaspoon salt into the juice. Wipe the rim of the jar with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lid and screw on ring.
• Process juice in a pressure canner at 10 pounds of pressure for 35 minutes.
• Remove the jar from the pressure canner and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface until cool. Once cool, press the top of the lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN V8 JUICE

Steps:

• Add olive oil to a large pot over medium-high heat.
• Add everything except cucumbers and parsley to the pot and bring to a simmer.
• Cook on medium for about 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally to help break down the vegetables.
• Season to taste with more salt, pepper, tabasco and worcestershire sauce as desired.
• Remove from heat and transfer to a blender.
• Add parsley and 1 cucumber.
• Pulse 2-3 times just to break up the chunks of vegetables remaining. The consistency should be like a thick, chunk soup at this point.
• Transfer from blender to a food mill.
• Using the smallest holed plate, run mixture through the food mill.
• Transfer the mixture back to the blender, add the remaining cucumber and blend for about 1 minute on high to get a nice smooth, juice consistency. It will still be thicker than a normal juice, but not chewy.
