Tomato juice

Tomato juice was first obliged as a drink in 1917 by Edgar Berman at the French Lick Springs Hotel in southern Indiana, when he takes part out of orange juice and needed a fast supernumerary. His recipe of pressed tomatoes, sugar and his special sauce became a prompt success as Chicago businessmen feast the word about the tomato juice cocktail.

For those of us who garden and cultivate tomatoes, there repeatedly comes a point in the summer tomato increasing season in which the bounty importantly exceeds one's capability to consume it, in its regular tomato form. If you discover yourself in this position, and you like tomato juice, V8, Bloody or Virgin Maris, I highly recommend preparing your individual tomato juice. My dad proclaimed the other day that he was going to create some tomato juice and I supposed nothing of it. But after one taste, wow. This is how V8 should taste.

Making and dismissing your own tomato juice is also pretty easy.  And imagine how much healthier it will taste in the winter, with the taste of home grown tomatoes! Just scroll down this page to see how to do it, in easy steps and totally exemplified.  I choice it with the basil, but you can also create simple tomato juice, too. 

The only special tools you need are a pressure canner and canning pots with new lids. (Caution: Do not add other vegetables or setting agents to house canned tomato juice.)
