Categories     Sauces

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 pints

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 quarts tomato juice
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon finely chopped dill weed
1 teaspoon grated horseradish
1 tablespoon lemon juice or 1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in glass pan. Heat throughly. Pour into 6 pint jars process in water bath 30 minutes.

Tips

  • Select the ripest tomatoes: Use tomatoes that are deeply red and free of blemishes. Overripe tomatoes will yield more juice, but they may have a less vibrant flavor.
  • Core the tomatoes: Remove the core from each tomato before juicing. This will help to prevent the juice from becoming bitter.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to core and slice the tomatoes. A sharp knife will also help to prevent the tomatoes from being crushed, which can release unwanted bitterness into the juice.
  • Don't over-process the juice: Over-processing the juice can release unwanted bitterness and cloudiness. If you are using a juicer, pulse the tomatoes until they are juiced, but do not over-process them.
  • Add seasonings to taste: You can add seasonings such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, or onion powder to taste. However, be careful not to add too much seasoning, as this can overpower the natural flavor of the tomatoes.

Conclusion

Homemade tomato juice is a delicious and refreshing beverage that is perfect for any occasion. It is also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own tomato juice that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you have a craving for tomato juice, skip the store-bought stuff and make your own instead. You won't be disappointed!
