Diana’s Small Batch V-8 Juice Recipe
4 cups chopped tomatoes, seeded, skins on
1 sweet onion, chopped
2 long or 3 short celery ribs, chopped with leaves
1 carrot, peeled & grated
1 green pepper, seeded and chopped
1 cucumber, peeled and chopped
1 tsp. minced Garlic
1 Tbsp. white Sugar
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. prepared Horseradish
1 tsp. Worchestershire Sauce
1 Beef Bullion Cube
1/4 tsp. ground pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Cups water
Put everything in a heavy pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer 20-30 minutes until tender. Cool.
SAFETY FIRST: It’s important to cool it COMPLETELY if you’re going to use a regular blender; you’ll blow the top off if it’s hot and you’ll be hating life!
With your immersion blender (or in SMALL amounts in a regular blender), blend it all together. Strain through a wire-mesh strainer, pressing all of the juices out. This will make you a 1 quart Mason jar of juice.
Adjust seasonings as you see fit; add hot sauce if you want. I do! Cover and chill and enjoy plain or in a Bloody Mary.
If you want to make a bigger batch, just increase all ingredients incrementally. (Double it, triple it, quadruple it.)
Hot Water Bath canning or freezing works just fine.
