-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 pounds very ripe tomatoes -- coarsely chopped
3 stalks celery -- leafy tops left whole, stems
chopped
1 medium onion -- peeled and sliced
1 medium green bell pepper -- seeded and sliced
1 medium red bell pepper -- seeded and sliced
1 clove garlic -- peeled and crushed
1 jalapeno or other small hot pepper -- seeded
2 teaspoons salt -- or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon black or white peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon sugar -- or more to taste
2 tablespoons lemon juice -- or more to taste (2 to 4)
Tabasco or other hot sauce (optional)
1. In a large pan, combine the tomatoes, celery, including the leafy tops,
onion, green pep per, red pepper, garlic, jalapeno, 2 teaspoons of salt,
coriander, peppercorns, and bay leaf. Set over low heat until the juice is
running, about 5 minutes. Raise the heat until the mixture comes to a
simmer. Simmer until all the vegetables are very soft, about 30 minutes.
2. Let cool until the mixture is lukewarm. Pass through a food mill set with
the finest blade to remove the tomato seeds and other coarse material. Taste
and add sugar and lemon juice to adjust the flavor. If desired, add a few
drops of Tabasco for a very spicy mixture.
3. Store in the refrigerator and use within a couple of weeks. For longer
storage, reheat the tomato juice until almost boiling. Then pour into either
pint or quart canning jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Seal and process for
40 minutes (or longer at altitudes above sea level) in a boiling water
bath.
The Tomato Festival Cookbook
Description:
"Here's a tomato drink that captures the flavors of the summer garden. It
makes a great late afternoon summer drink, perfect with hors d'oeuvre,
crab, or lobster salad. Spiking it with vodka doesn't hurt a bit."
