pepper, etc. Boil over medium heat, stirring and adding extra
juice as needed to keep the mixture from sticking - until soft
enough to strain through your sieve or food mill. Add 3 1/2
teaspoons citric acid (or 2/3 cup bottled lemon juice OR cup white
vinegar) and the rest of the tomato juice. Bring to simmering.
Pack hot, leaving 1/2 inch of headroom. Process in a BW bath: 15

Variation: Add 3-5 hungarian wax peppers or jalapenos instead of
the green pepper.
