Tomato Juice is made from tomatoes. It works well either mixed in cocktails for instance Bloody Mary, Caesar, or Michelada. The common store versions usually have salt, and some have extras like onion or garlic powder.
Making Tomato Juice at home is very easy. You can use ripe tomatoes, wash them and remove the stems along with bad parts or marks. You do not need to peel them.
How to Make Tomato Juice at Home
Cut the tomatoes in bits for faster boiling, then boil them in a big pot until the pieces soften. Then press the mix through a sieve or food mill to separate skins and seeds. The homemade version has such fresh taste that it beats all bought juices.
The ideal tomatoes for juice are big types full of juice. Beefsteak tomatoes or big Roman tomatoes work well, even so any big tomato will do. Ripe old tomatoes that taste rich give even bettre juice.
Garden or local fresh tomatoes are the best, especially during the summer, when they reach their peak. Eight quarts of tomatoes make around four to six quarts of juice.
Homemade Tomato Juice is more like a smooth drink than a thin liquid. It always requires cooking, otherwise it will separate. The bought versions are always cooked too.
Some Tomato Juices now come from concentrate, which simply means that you mix tomato pulp with water.
During canning, add bottled lemon juice or citric acid to the jars. For one quart, add a spoon of salt, if you want. A pinch of Sugar helps, depending on the sweetness ore bitterness of the tomatoes.
Fill the jars with warm juice, leaving half inches of free space on top.
Ohio chose Tomato Juice as its official state drink. This might seem strange, because many states pick milk, but tomato farming forms an important part of the farming economy of Ohio. The state ranks among the top tomato growing regions of the country.
Tomato Juice tastes good on flights. The noise of planes changes the way we sense tastes. In noisy places, sweet and salty hints barely show, but umami feeling grows.
Because Tomato Juice is rich in umami, it seems more nice when you fly. Among bought versions, look for those with low sodium content or without extra Sugar for healthier use. You can also use Tomato Juice inbaking, replacing water in the recipe, although the rising time then will last more long.
