Tomato juice is one of many people's favorite drinks. He has many useful qualities. It improves blood circulation, helps to remove toxins and toxins from the body, etc. To make tomato juice at home for the winter, you can use a variety of recipes.
For the simplest way you will need:
- tomatoes;
- salt;
- sugar.
Medium to large red tomatoes are recommended. Of course, you can make tomato juice at home from yellow fruits or cherry varieties, but this will not be tomato juice in the usual sense.
First of all, wash and dry the tomatoes. Cut out spoiled and inedible areas. Divide them into several equal slices. If it is a medium fruit, then into quarters, if it is large, then into smaller pieces.
Put a saucepan on low heat, pour some water on the bottom and place the fruit pieces in there. Water is needed to prevent the tomatoes from burning. After the contents give juice, boil it for 10 minutes and remove from heat. Let the tomatoes cool.
Wipe the resulting mass through a sieve. How much juice you get depends on this process. The ideal option is that only skin and bones remain at the bottom of the sieve.
Pour the liquid back into the pot and add salt and sugar. Adjust the amount of seasonings to your taste. After the juice boils, cook it for another 15 minutes. Pour the liquid into the jars, preserve them and place them on the lid.
Another way to make tomato juice for the winter
To prepare tomato juice at home for the winter, you can use improvised household appliances:
- Blender.
- Juicer.
- Multicooker.
In the first case, place the peeled and cut tomatoes in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a multi-cooker bowl and turn on the "Braising" mode. It is not recommended to set the timer for more than 15 minutes. Add salt to the juice before starting. Pour the finished liquid into sterilized jars and remove before the onset of winter. The drink will be thicker, possibly with pulp. If you want liquid juice without fruit pieces, replace the blender with a juicer.
