Grandma Fahrenkrog's V-8 Juice

I can this mixture throughout the summer season when my tomatoes and peppers get ripe.

In large pans I fill with tomatoes, cut in half.

I then add to each pan 1 pepper (cleaned and cut in strips), 2 strips of celery, 1 carrot (cut up), 2 or 3 leaves of lettuce, 1/2 cup of beets (I use my canned beets), a good handful of watercress and a few twigs of fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon of dried parsley.

Cook this until heated, it doesn't have to be mushy.

Then take it while it's hot and put through a tomato press.

After running the vegetables through the press once, I then again take the skin and remains and run it through the press once more to get all the pulp out of it.
