This is an old family recipe. Great when you have lots of tomatoes to can! Very yummy with or without alcohol! Ingredients:
30 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and quartered |
2 1/2 cups green peppers, chopped |
1 3/4 cups carrots, diced |
1 cup celery, diced |
1 small onion, diced |
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced |
1/4 cup parsley, minced |
1 bay leaf |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
1 1/2 tablespoons salt |
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce |
1/2 tablespoon tabasco sauce (to taste) |
Directions:
1. Cook tomatoes, celery, carrots, onion, green peppers, garlic, bay leaf, and parsley in a large pot until mushy, approximately 30-45 minutes.
2. Remove the bay leaf.
3. Working in batches, place the vegetable mixture into a blender and puree.
4. Using a spatula, press each pureed batch through a fine sieve to remove any extra seeds.
5. Place back in a large pot and add the sugar, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce, salt, and tobasco (1/2 T. tobasco is very mild, so you may wish to add more now or add when mixing your drink).
6. Heat this to a boil.
7. Pour into clean quart jars and add prepared lids.
8. Process in a boiling water canner for 40 minutes.
