Lu and Leigh's "Mator" Juice. Please read intructions carefully!


Lucian and Leigh’s Tomato Juice
Get juice and place in pot and heat, do not boil. -Lu and Leigh squeezed 1 million tomatoes to have enough juice.
Put pot of water on and boil, place rings and lids inside water to soak.-When cooking with a partner double check to make sure they have turned burner on.
Sterilize jars, pour boiling water over them. -Place 2 pans of water on to boil in case cooking partner dumps one in the floor.
Pour juice into jars, fill to bottom line on jar with juice.-Establish who is the “official” pourer so as to alleviate control issues of both cooking partners.-Have extra towel ready to wipe excess juice spilled by “official” pourer.
Add 1 tsp canning salt into each quart jar of juice-Always double check with cooking partner to see if they have already placed salt in jar and read article about how to remove excess canning salt in homemade tomato juice.
Put lid and ring on and tighten. Using a pressure cooker to seal jars, from Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book
Put 2 quarts water in bottom and place jars inside. Turn burner up enough for steam for 3-5 minutes.
Turn burner down and put jiggler on top. Bring pressure to 10 and keep on for 10 to 20 minutes.
Take off of burner and wait till burner drops to 0.
Open carefully. Lift jars out with towel and let sit for 24 hours.
You may hear lids popping while cooking.
( I actually called Patti the day the tomato juice was being made. I asked her what she was doing. She replied, " I am watching Lu and Leigh make tomato juice..they have taken over my kitchen ..and I am very scared")
