Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
5 medium-large tomatoes, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 beet, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 tablespoon honey
1 dash tabasco sauce
1 dash worcestershire sauce
salt & pepper
2 small cucumbers, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley

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.

Provided by Diana Adcock

Categories     Beverages

Time 1h15m

Yield 7 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 11

15 lbs ripe tomatoes, chopped (you want 8 quarts chopped)
1 large bell pepper, chopped fine
2 large onions, chopped fine
1 1/2 cups diced celery
2 bay leaves
12 fresh basil leaves or 2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
3 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup lemon juice

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients, except lemon juice, in a large stainless pot. Bring to a boil then simmer for 30 minutes-all veg should be soft.
  • Press veg through a fine sieve or food mill.
  • Return juice to pot, stir in lemon juice and bring to a boil.
  • Pour into clean hot jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space. Process for 35 minutes at altitudes up to 1000 feet.

Tips:

  • Select ripe and fresh vegetables: Use the freshest vegetables possible for optimal flavor and nutrient content.
  • Variety of vegetables: Incorporate a variety of vegetables to create a well-balanced and flavorful juice. Common choices include tomatoes, carrots, beets, celery, spinach, kale, and parsley.
  • Balance flavors: Aim for a balance of sweet, sour, and savory flavors. Sweet vegetables like carrots and beets can balance the tartness of tomatoes and the bitterness of leafy greens.
  • Adjust sweetness: If desired, add a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup to enhance the sweetness of the juice. Alternatively, consider using sweeter vegetable options like carrots and beets in larger proportions.
  • Use a quality juicer: Invest in a good quality juicer that can extract maximum juice from the vegetables without compromising flavor or nutrients.
  • Strain the juice: Straining the juice removes any pulp or unwanted particles, resulting in a smooth and refined drink.
  • Consume fresh: Homemade V8 juice is best consumed fresh to preserve its flavor, nutritional value, and vibrant color.

Conclusion:

Homemade V8 juice is a delicious, refreshing, and nutritious beverage that offers a wide range of health benefits. By following these tips and using fresh, high-quality ingredients, you can easily create a delicious and healthy V8 juice at home.
