8 qt tomatoes, Cut Up2 md onions, diced1 ¼ с celery, Diced1 green pepper, large, seeded-and-.Chopped3 bay leaves3 T sugar10 basil leaves ½ t pepper2 t Worcestershire sauce-(optional)4 t salt, if desiredIn a large enameled kettle, simmer the tomatoes over low heat until soft. Put through a fine sieve or food mill to remove skins and seeds and set the strained juice aside. Rinse the kettle and into it measure 2 cups of the tomato juice. Add the onions, celery, pepper, etc. Boil over medium heat, stirring and adding extra juice as needed to keep the mixture from sticking — until soft enough to strain through your sieve or food mill. Add 3 ½ teaspoons citric acid (or 2/3 cup bottled lemon juice OR ¾ cup white vinegar) and the rest of the tomato juice. Bring to simmering. Pack hot, leaving ½ inch of headroom. Process in a BW bath: 15 minutes for pints, 20 minutes for quarts. Remove jars. Alternate: We use 3–5 Hungarian wax peppers instead of the green pepper for added kick. Makes a spicy, hot juice. Or you could use jalapenos, but not too many. More...
