I'm thinking of selling this made from colorful (or colorless), organic, heirloom tomatoes.

Homemade Bloody Mary Mix (Spicy Vegetable Tomato Juice)

Imagine this made with white tomatoes...or green ones...or yellow ones...
Serves 2 quarts
  • 5 pounds assorted tomatoes, washed well, quartered, all stem ends and blemishes removed
  • 1 medium onion, rough chopped
  • 1 sweet pepper - I like Cubanelles, banana peppers, or Jimmy Nardellos (If you can find them)
  • 1 handful spinach leaves, washed & stemmed (can substitute kale or chard)
  • 1 jalapeno, including seeds & stems (can substitute more or hotter peppers, according to taste)
  • 2 carrots, rough chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  1. In a non-reactive large stockpot, add tomatoes and start cooking as you chop, crushing with a large spoon or potato masher as you go. Keep cooking at a slow simmer as you complete the next steps.
  2. Add onion, pepper, spinach, jalapeno and carrots to the blender and blend to a puree. Add in some of the tomato liquid if it gets too thick to blend. Add to the tomatoes. Add celery seed.
  3. Simmer, covered, 90 minutes.
  4. Pour through a food mill to remove skins and seeds. Add lemon juice and salt and pour into a two quart pitcher or other container. Cover tightly.
  5. Chill well for at least one day.
