This tomato fruit juice recipe creates vibrant, smooth juice with ripe tomatoes and a savory blend of seasonings, ideal for fresh drinking or canning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 23 pounds tomatoes
  • 1/4 to 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon celery salt
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (for canning)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the tomatoes well, then remove the cores and cut away any damaged spots.
    Slice the tomatoes into small pieces.
  2. Place the tomato pieces in a large stockpot with just a small amount of water, no more than 1 cup. Bring everything to a boil.
  3. Once the tomatoes have softened, press the mixture through a colander to separate the juice from the skins and seeds. Discard the skins and seeds.
  4. Pour the tomato juice back into the stockpot and bring it to a boil again. Add salt, onion salt, and celery salt according to the amount of juice you have prepared.
  5. For canning, add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to each sterilized quart jar to increase acidity and make the tomato juice safer for storage.
  6. Fill the jars with hot tomato juice, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.
  7. Process the jars in a hot water bath canner, following your canner’s instructions. Process quart jars for 40 minutes and pint jars for 35 minutes.

Notes

  • Always wash your produce thoroughly under cool running water before processing to ensure safety. You can find more details on handling fresh ingredients at the FDA produce safety guidance page.
  • If you are new to home preservation, consult the USDA MyPlate fruits guidance to understand how to incorporate these juices into a balanced diet.
