V8 Juice Recipe
Ingredients:
8 Quarts water
4 pounds homegrown tomatoes -- chopped
1 bunch celery -- chopped
8 green jalapeno peppers -- chopped
1 cup vinegar
3 bay leaves
2 tablespoons oregano
1 large onion -- chopped
1 head garlic -- pressed
4 tablespoons salt
4 tablespoons sugar
Directions:
In a large pot, combine all ingredients except the sugar, bring to a boil, and
cook at a steady boil for 2 hours.
Remove from heat and strain through a relatively fine mesh, making sure to
express all the liquid you can.
Discard the pulp, return the liquid to the pot, and boil for another couple of
hours, or until the liquid is reduced to roughly three quarts. Add four
tablespoons of sugar, remove from heat, stir, and let cool.
