How to Make Tomato Juice from Fresh Tomatoes
Fresh tomato juice is high in potassium and can be made at home from
fresh tomatoes. This is a good and nutritious way to use extra tomatoes
from the garden. This recipe yields approximately 1 quart of tomato
juice, but it may be doubled or tripled as necessary. As a general rule,
use 3-¼ pounds of tomatoes for each quart of juice you wish to produce.
Instructions
1. Wash the fresh tomatoes in cool water to remove any external
debris and carefully remove the stems with a sharp knife. Cut each
tomato into quarters, and remove any green, white or mushy spots.2. Immediately place the tomato quarters into a large stainless-steel saucepan or kettle to prevent the juice from separating. Bring the tomatoes to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, just until soft and juicy. This takes about five to eight minutes.
3. Place a large bowl under a fine mesh sieve to catch the juice, and transfer the tomatoes to the sieve. Push the fruit through using your hands to separate the skins and seeds. Discard any remaining pulp in the sieve.
4. Return the tomato juice to the
saucepan or kettle, and reheat to boiling over medium-high heat. Remove
from the heat, and then prepare the canning jar and boiling water bath
for processing.
5. Add lemon juice to the sterilized
canning jar, and enough water to a large stockpot to cover 1 inch over
the canning jar’s top. Bring the water to a rolling boil over
medium-high heat.
6. Transfer the tomato juice to the
prepared canning jar using a funnel to prevent spilling. Leave about ½
inch of space at the top of the jar. Secure the lid in place, and lower
the jar into the boiling water bath using metal tongs.
7. Allow the jar to process in the
boiling water for 40 minutes, and then remove it using the metal tongs
to prevent overcooking. Place the jar on a dry dishtowel to cool and
seal.
8. Allow the tomato juice to stand for
12 to 24 hours, and then test the seal by pressing the flat part of the
lid in the center with your finger. If the lid is slightly concave and
does not move, it is properly sealed.
9. Label the jar of tomato juice with
the date and contents, and store in a cool, dark place for up to one
year. Store the juice in the refrigerator once the jar has been opened
for up to one week.
