CANNED TOMATOES (VINE RIPENED TOMATOES IN TOMATO JUICE)
A great way to enjoy that taste of home grown vine ripened tomatoes all year long! This recipe was clipped from 'The Western Producer' recipe page written weekly by a Home Economist who went on to author one of my favorite prairie cookbooks. I have used this recipe for years - and years! The only change I have made is for acidity levels ... I add 2 tablespoons bottled lemon juice or 1/2 teaspoon citric acid per quart. One 48 ounce can of tomato juice will do about seven quarts. You may use your home made tomato juice. NOTE For those new to canning or as a general refresher please read one of the many excellent canning cookbooks or go on line to become familiar with the canning procedures. I see new guidelines as to processing times - which vary from 40 minutes to one hour and 25 minutes for tomatoes - do check for the recommends in your area. Do remember there are no short cuts when it comes to cleanliness - I have always assured the utensils as well as the jars are sterilized - clean the sinks and work area and have good supply of clean dish cloths on hand. Never use non - reactive containers ( use stainless steel unchipped enamel/ porcelain - be sure all your bowls and containers are food grade)

Steps:
- Push the tomatoes , celery, ginge and apple through the chute of a juicer.
- Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the juice over and stir with a celery stick.
Tips:
- Choose the right tomatoes: For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season tomatoes. If you can, use organic tomatoes to avoid pesticides and herbicides.
- Use a variety of tomatoes: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of tomatoes. This will add depth and complexity to the flavor of your juice.
- Add other ingredients: Feel free to experiment with adding other ingredients to your tomato juice, such as herbs, spices, or even fruits. A little bit of garlic, basil, or oregano can go a long way.
- Strain the juice: If you don't like the texture of tomato seeds, you can strain the juice through a fine-mesh strainer. This will remove the seeds and leave you with a smooth, pulp-free juice.
- Chill the juice: Tomato juice is best served chilled. You can either chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours or place it in the freezer for a few minutes.
Conclusion:
Tomato juice is a delicious and nutritious beverage that can be enjoyed on its own or used in a variety of recipes. It is a good source of vitamins A and C, potassium, and lycopene, an antioxidant that has been linked to a number of health benefits. Whether you are looking for a refreshing drink or a healthy addition to your diet, tomato juice is a great choice.
