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.

  1. 1 Grind chile de arbol peppers with a mortar and pestle until becomes a powder; set aside.
  2. 2 Place tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, carrots, garlic, and jalapeño in the bowl of a food processor, in batches; pulse until finely chopped then transfer to a large pot.
  3. 3 Stir tomato sauce, vinegar, horseradish, bay leaves, chile de arbol powder, kosher salt, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, celery seeds, seafood seasoning, and hot pepper sauce into tomato mixture; bring to a boil.

  4. 4 Place vegetable mixture in a vegetable juicer, in batches if necessary; process. Strain excess pulp from juice if desired. Pour juice into a large pot over medium heat; cook until nearly boiling then stir in lemon juice.
  5. 5 Meanwhile, inspect 8 quart-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until Bloody Mary mix is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  6. 6 Pack hot Bloody Mary mix into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within ¼ inch of tops. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around insides of jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims of jars with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.

Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 40 minutes (or 35 minutes if using pint-sized jars).
  8. 8 Remove jars from the pot; place on a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart. Cool, 8 hours to overnight. Press centers of lids with a finger to ensure lids do not move up or down. Remove rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice water and set it aside.
  2. 2 Cut a shallow X on the bottom of each tomato. This will make peeling much easier. Place tomatoes in boiling water until the skin begins to peel back, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  3. 3 Transfer tomatoes into the bowl of ice water; set aside for 5 minutes.
  4. 4 Remove tomatoes from water; peel off the skin with your hands and slice into quarters.
  5. 5 Transfer tomatoes into a large saucepan over low heat; stir in salt. Simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until slightly thickened, about 20 to 30 minutes.
