  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.

  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.

  2. 2 Place parsnips and carrots in a mixing bowl; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Spread vegetables evenly onto a baking sheet.
  3. 3 Roast in the preheated oven until vegetables are tender and parsnips are golden brown, about 30 minutes.
