In a large canner combine all ingredients and cook until vegetables are soft and able too press through a food mill or sieve to extract juices; about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and cool until able to handle.

Press the vegetables through the sieve, extracting the majority of the juices. Discard the pulp.

Return juice to the stove; bring to a boil and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Stir frequently so it doesn't burn.

Ladle hot juice into sterilized jars, lid and band jars. Place in a hot water bath canner. Fill water in canner to 1 inch above the jars, minimum. Bring to a constant rolling boil; process; pints 40 minutes and quarts 45 minutes.

Remove jars to a towel and cover completely, rest undisturbed for 24 hours. Store in a cool dry place.
