ingredients

20 large vine-ripe tomatoes, cored and cut, in wedges (no need to peel)
2 large yellow onions, peeled and minced
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
3 celery ribs, diced
1 medium bell peppers, green or 1 medium red pepper, cored, seeded and minced
¹⁄₄ cup finely grated horseradish or 1/4 cup prepared horseradish
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons crushed dried hot red chili peppers
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons liquid hot red pepper seasoning
¹⁄₄ cup granulated sugar
¹⁄₃ cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon salt

directions

Simmer all ingredients, covered, in a large heavy enamel or stainless steel kettle over moderate heat about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes have cooked down to juice. Put mixture through a food mill or press through a fine sieve, forcing out as much juice as possible.
Return strained juice to kettle and bring to a boil. Pour into 4 (1-quart) hot canning jars, filling each to within 1 inch of top. Wipe rims and seal. Process for 30 minutes at 10 pounds of pressure.
