Instructions

  1. 1 Place a collection container under the exit spout of a juicer; turn the juicer on. Place tomatoes into the feeding chute; insert the food pusher and gently guide tomatoes down the chute. Repeat with celery, onion, green pepper, beets, carrots, and garlic.
  2. 2 Place juice into a large pot. Stir in sugar, black pepper, horseradish, lemon juice, and enough water to form a thin consistency: season with Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, and cook for 20 minutes.
  3. 3 Pack juice into hot, sterilized 1-quart jars, filling to within ¾ inch of the top. Stir in 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 teaspoon salt into each jar. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
  4. 4 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 40 minutes.
  5. 5 Remove jars from the stockpot and let rest on a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.
