TOMATO JUICE - CANNING



Tomato Juice - Canning image

Ok...Here's THE recipe for canning tomato juice that doesn't separate. Just like store bought tomato juice. The trick is to bring the juice to a rolling boil again AFTER you have run it through your food mill. I usually juice around 2-3 bushels of tomatoes per year. In order to get that 'Store Bought' consistency, mix your tomatoes 50/50 roma and regular. So I always buy a bushel of romas and a bushel of regular. This year we bought 2 bushels each and have lots of juice for the year. This recipe should yield around 15 quarts/litres in general.

Time 4h

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 bushel tomatoes (half Roma and half regular)
15 teaspoons salt (I recommend some as salt is a preservative) (optional)

Steps:

  • Core and peel tomatoes (Often, the day before, I will wash and core the tomatoes and freeze them first. Then just dunk them in a sink full of hot water and the peel falls right off). UPDATE: This year I didn't even bother to peel them, just core them and continue. The peel will come out in step 4.
  • Place the tomatoes in a large stock pot and as you fill it, bring them to a rolling boil, stirring regularly (They will burn if you don't). I usually squish the first few with a potato masher to cover the bottom of the stock pot with liquid in order to get the boiling process kick started.
  • Sterilize your jars (I do this in the dishwasher).
  • Once you have all your tomatoes in the stock pot and boiling up a storm, ladle them into your food mill and grind out the mixture into pots, scraping the good stuff off the sides of the cone into your juice.
  • Throw out the remaining pulp and return the juice to the stock pot.
  • Bring back to a rolling boil.
  • Add salt. (I usually add 1 tsp to each litre/quart). This is optional of course.
  • Pour into jars leaving 1/2 inch air space.
  • Place jars into canner and boil for 25 minutes.
  • DONE!

Time 2h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 recipe pastry for a 9-inch pie crust
2 pounds heirloom tomatoes
1 pound Roma tomatoes
1 cup diced raw bacon
½ cup sliced leek
2 cups grated white Cheddar cheese
½ cup grated Fontina cheese
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup fresh basil, torn into small pieces
1 egg
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Chill pie dough for about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place a baking sheet on the lower oven rack.
  • Slice heirloom tomatoes into 1/2-inch rounds. Remove seeds with your fingers. Place 6 slices on paper towels or a clean cloth and cover with more paper towels or another clean cloth. Arrange the remaining slices on a wire rack. Cut Roma tomatoes into 1/2-inch slices, remove seeds, and arrange them on the rack as well.
  • Line a deep-dish, 9-inch pie plate with dough. Place 2 layers of aluminum foil over the entire surface. Fill with pie weights or dried beans.
  • Bake pie crust on the preheated baking sheet on the bottom rack. Place tomatoes on a higher rack. Reduce temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake until the bottom of the pie crust has lost its translucent raw look and the edges have just started to color, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the foil and the weights. Cover the edges of the crust with foil to prevent them from burning. Poke the bottom of the pie crust with a fork to keep it from puffing up. Return the pie crust to the bottom rack and bake until the bottom starts to color, about 8 more minutes.
  • Remove pie crust and allow to cool. Continue baking the tomatoes until they are wilted, about 40 minutes total. Remove and allow to cool. Keep the oven on.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until some of the fat has rendered, about 5 minutes. Add sliced leek. Cook until bacon is crisp and the leeks have softened and browned, about 5 more minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels and allow to cool.
  • Place bacon-leek mixture, Cheddar, Fontina, mayonnaise, basil, egg, and mustard in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix to combine.
  • Spread 1/3 mixture on the bottom of the pie crust. Arrange 1/2 of the roasted tomatoes on top, overlapping heirlooms with Roma tomatoes. Spread another 1/3 of the mixture over the tomatoes and arrange the remaining roasted tomatoes on top. Add the last 1/3 of the mixture and gently press the fresh tomato slices on top in a decorative pattern. Arrange foil around the edges of the pie crust to protect them from burning, taking care that the foil doesn't touch the tomatoes.
  • Bake until browned and bubbly on top, about 40 minutes. Cool completely before serving.

AMISH TOMATO JUICE



Amish Tomato Juice image

This was taken from The "Heritage country harvest cook book" And was sent in by Mrs Jonas Yoder Benefits of tomato juice Lycopene The main organic compound in the tomato is lycopene. Lycopene gives the tomato its red color and has been found to have antioxidant and cancer-preventing properties. It acts as an antioxidant by protecting cells and organs from oxygen damage. It has also been found to help protect DNA in white blood cells. Lycopene has been found to be effective against several types of cancer, including colorectal, breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancers. Vitamins and Minerals Tomato juice is a great source of many vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A and C. One cup of tomato juice will give you up to 74 percent of your daily recommended value of vitamin C and 2 percent of your vitamin A. These vitamins help the immune system by destroying the free radicals in your blood stream that damage cells. Other vitamins found in tomato juice are K, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, potassium, magnesium, iron and phosphorous. Cholesterol Tomato juice is also an excellent natural treatment for high cholesterol. It is a very good source of fiber, which acts to help break down LDL (or bad cholesterol) in the body. Also, the B3 (niacin) found in tomato juice has been used as a natural way to treat high cholesterol for many years. Heart Disease The B6 in tomatoes helps the body break down a compound called homocystene into other molecules that are harmless. Homocystene is a compound that damages blood vessel walls and helps to cause heart disease.

Number Of Ingredients 5

7 quart(s) tomato juice
1 cup(s) sugar
3 tablespoon(s) salt
3 teaspoon(s) celery salt
1 teaspoon(s) each: garlic salt and onion salt

Steps:

  • Heat to boiling point and seal in hot in canning jars
  • Warning: The recipe was in an amish cookbook. Frankly It seams way to salty with all the salts. I would of made it with garlic powder, onion powder, celery seed and 1/2 the salt for the entire recipe. I am sorry it was so salty.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, juicy tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your juice. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and free of blemishes.
  • Use a juicer: A juicer is the easiest way to extract juice from tomatoes. If you don't have a juicer, you can also use a blender or food processor, but you'll need to strain the juice afterward.
  • Add some flavorings: You can add a variety of flavorings to your tomato juice to taste. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic, onion, celery, and herbs.
  • Serve immediately or store for later: Tomato juice is best enjoyed fresh, but it can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze tomato juice for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Amish tomato juice is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy the taste of fresh tomatoes. With its rich flavor and numerous health benefits, it's a great addition to any diet. Whether you're looking for a healthy breakfast drink or a refreshing summer beverage, Amish tomato juice is a perfect choice. So next time you're at the farmers market, be sure to pick up some fresh tomatoes and give this recipe a try!
