Homemade Tomato Juice..

[Tim Horton]

Don't know what made me think of this, but many years ago, I knew a guy whos mother was a British WW2 war bride.  

She brought with her a recipe for homemade tomato juice that was so much better than anything off the grocery shelf. I either never got, or lost the recipe so long ago I have no clue. 

I'm sure there are a hundred recipes from very plain to Snappy Tom equal to the whole garden in a glass or 7 alarm explosive. 

We don't have tomatoes for a project like this, but I would not mind making up a small batch just for 2 for a day. 

Who has a recipe to share... ??

I cut up 1/2 Early Girl and 1/2 Roma type tomatoes in large pot, cook until tender and run through a cone sieve. Add 1 stalk of celery and 2TBS of chopped onion/pint of juice. Cook down to 1/2. Strain, add sea salt and black pepper to taste....James

It's a lively thread with lots of good ideas.

It's tomato juice, or v-5 juice, or I just can't wait for summer tomatoes.

1-5 quart ice cream bucket of frozen tomatoes, (or canned tomatoes).
2 carrots quartered
1 onion in half
1/2 cup celery dehydrated
1 green pepper seeds and all

Put a couple cups of water in with the 4 vegetables, cook to soft, blend with a hand blender, add tomatoes, boil or simmer for 30 minutes. Hand blend it again with a hand blender.

Let cool, strain it through a sieve.
Add 2 Tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
Salt to taste (2-3 teaspoons)
1/4-1/8th teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Cayenne pepper or hot sauce to taste

Store it in quart canning jars in the fridge, makes about 3 quarts. It turned out delicious.

I don't do a 'vegetable' juice, but I make homemade tomato juice. It's the only kind my family will drink. I literally just use leftover tomatoes from the garden.

Do you can it? The way you like tomato juice; do you put lemon, salt, pepper....any seasoning in it?

Yes, I can it.  I put a tsp of salt per quart jar and nothing else.  Not even the lemon juice....I'm waiting for the canning police to show up any day!

That is exactily the way that I do it and have done it that way for over 50 years.  Nothing but juice and salt.
