As many of you know , we have enjoy a Bloody Mary on Saturday mornings for many years . In fact , we even carried on the custom while we were on our trip across the nation .
However , we have always bribe our premix at the foodstuff storage . And although we doctor up the mix to make our drinks just how we wish them , we have always wanted to make our own mix .
First of all , we be intimate that a homemade version is much intelligent than store bought . And since we are fetch in bushel and bushel of tomatoes out of the garden every day , we decided it was the perfect clip to give it try .
Although every class we can a motley of tomato based product out of the garden , we have never used the tomatoes to make Bloody Mary ’s .

So we took a looking at the ingredients on the back of the Zing Zang bottle to see what we would demand to make our very own .
We were wholly dismayed at the legion ingredients that it make to make the mix .
However , we were felicitous to see that it did let in a variety of vegetables . In fact , it was quite similar to the element that are found in a Spicy V-8 Tomato Juice recipe .
Then , after a little research on how others made their mixture , we knew that we could come up with one that would work for us .
Our first few attempts were delicious ! However , we really require to make one that was similar to the flavor of Zing Zang .
And after a few adaption and transposition , we have last made our infrangible , favorite Spicy Bloody Mary Mix !
But proficient of all , we will be able to enjoy it all year long ! In develop this recipe , we followed the good canning guidepost from the USDA . Therefore , the tomato and vegetable juice is considered safe to be canned .
Now , every weekend , we can pull a jar off our canning larder shelf and make our very own Bloody Mary ’s knowing it was made with vegetables from our garden !
Spicy Bloody Mary Mix Recipe
Obviously , the base of this formula is tomato succus . And because we have been canning our own Tomato Juice for eld , we palpate surefooted we could expend this as the starting point for this recipe .
However , because we are pick ripe Lycopersicon esculentum daily , we make up one’s mind to apply fresh tomatoes instead of tomato succus . And because we have aFood Strainer , there is no pauperization to peel or remove the seeds prior to cookery .
If you do n’t have a strainer , you’re able to still make this formula by using an Immersion Blender , expectant capacity food processor , or a mellow velocity blender once the vegetables are cooked .
The next step is to add in a few carrots in the mint for redolence . However , the next ingredient , blew us away . We never knew that red beet were included in most Bloody Mary mixes .
And boy were we relieved to see that ! We have planted common beet for the last couple of years in the garden . And unfortunately , we are not huge beet fans . So now we have the perfect role for them !
Add in a little celery , garlic and Petroselinum crispum , and you have the start to a yummy Bloody Mary Mix .
Next it is clock time to resolve how gamy that you want your drink . We added 2 jalapeños and 3 cherry red bomb white pepper from the garden . Not only did we tot up the peppers to the Lycopersicon esculentum miscellany , we keep the seeds and pith intake as well .
Yes , we like it red-hot ! However , you’re able to lead out the peppers all together if you would like . Or if you would like the flavor of the peppers , without the monolithic amount of heat that comes with them , take the source .
Now cook your veg until they become skillful and warm . We commend at least a 30 arcminute simmering time . This will allow the vegetables become soft and easily mixed or strain .
take to the woods your mixture through theTomato Strainerto remove the seed and tegument . Or practice an immersion liquidiser to puree the intermixture .
If you do n’t have either a Tomato Strainer or an Immersion Blender , you could play in heap and strain the assortment in a food processor or high speed liquidizer .
Just be careful to not fill your container over one-half full . raging food expand when blended and if over full , the lid on your container can blow off and make a Brobdingnagian mess !
Return the veggie juice to a orotund pot and add in the stay ingredients . Now you have another chance to adjust the heat level .
If you like a Spicy Bloody Mary Mix , dispatch the formula as write . However , if you like it a little less racy , lessen the amount of hot sauce and Sriracha sauce at this time .
convey the mixed bag to a boil and allow to simmer for 10 minute . If you are going to keep up the succus by canning , prepare and fix quart mason jars .
Process in a red-hot water bathtub canner , adding 2 Tablespoons of bottled lemon yellow juice per quart jolt , for 40 minutes . Or habituate a pressure canner at 10 lbs . for a processing fourth dimension of 15 minutes . * As with all canning recipes , set for altitude as necessary .
you may also refrigerate the mixture for up to 2 weeks or freeze out in an air tight container for up to 12 month .
employ the Spicy Bloody Mary Mix as you would any fund - bought Bloody Mary Mix .
