Making delicious tomato juice

Peel the tomato is not necessary to remove - when we wipe the mashed potatoes, it will remain in a colander. We cut the tomatoes into slices, remove the white areas.

We shift portions into a blender, grind into a thick mashed potatoes. Grind tomatoes well so that there is as little waste as possible. Pour into a colander with small holes or a sieve.

Wipe with a spoon, leaving only pieces of peel and seeds. After each serving of tomato puree, rinse the colander, otherwise it will be difficult to wipe.

On high heat, let the juice boil. As soon as boiling begins on the surface, a magnificent cap of foam is formed. You can collect it, but in just a few minutes the foam will begin to subside and disperse.

We boil the juice for ten minutes with moderate heating, preventing it from boiling violently. If you want to make the juice fragrant, add Provencal herbs and a little ground pepper. Or leave it natural without additives.

Salt the juice to taste, cook another one or two minutes so that the salt crystals dissolve.

From a kilogram of tomato, 700-800 ml is obtained. Tomato juice - select jars based on the availability of tomato. Sterilize containers in advance, boil the lids. Pour boiling tomato juice into hot jars, screw the lid with thread or roll up the machine.

After the juice has cooled, we remove the cans for storage in a shaded place so that the juice does not darken in bright light. Good luck with your workpieces!
