Well......, it passed the taste test though it is a little flat compared to last years tomato juice. Decided not to waste the Absolute on the 24 year old tomato juice. Will use it for chili and call it good. Poured 3 fingers of Woodford over ice instead. Will report back tomorrow of any ill effects. PBR and tomato juice..........that brings back memories.....lol. Tells my age.

Thanks for all the replies. I am going to taste it and see what happens. Hell I would just as soon get sick from something we canned as something from the store.......lol. If the taste test goes well, I will sterilize some more with Absolute, a celery stick and Tabasco. Will report back.
Again Thanks! Im betting its good.

If there is no botulinum bacteria present on the beans when they're canned, there is no danger. The problem comes when botulinum IS present. Hot water canning without a pressure cooker can't get it hot enough to destroy the toxin. Yes but if you can spot botulism you're better than any doctor without a microscope. And it only takes a minute amount to poison the whole well over time. But like I said my mother cans everything under the sun and never did use a pressure cooker. I do though, particularly on things like string beans. Just dump in a small can of crushed pineapple when you go to jar it.

The wife and I were cleaning off some of the shelves down stairs and found a box with twelve quarts of tomato juice that was canned in August of 1993. The juice is still a good red color and the lids are still sealed. I opened one the jars and it smell good. What are your thoughts on it still being usable?
Thanks Go for it... I've BTDT, no problems.. But I use a pressure canner - not sure if that's the case in your scenario or not..

We can green beans and tomato juice, and pressure cook both. I don't like to keep it too long, 3 years being max. I know, it's probably safe, but it only takes a very small amount of botulism to put one six feet under. Stuff can go bad with age, because the rubber seal on the lids could dry out just enough to let air in, and that ain't good.

If it wasn't bad to start with, and is sealed, then you can use it no matter how old it is.
What's in there to start with is what's in there to end with.
