The Best Tomato Juice Recipe

This homemade tomato juice recipe provides both a great flavor and a great way to give nourishment to your body! It’s super easy to make and refreshing to know you aren’t consuming the added sugar you’d normally find at the grocery store. Instead it has a natural sweetness that can’t be beat!

How to Make Tomato Juice

Pulse tomatoes in food processor or blender until smooth and liquid.

Place a cheesecloth over a cup or bowl and pour the tomato mixture into it. You can also use a fine mesh strainer. To quicken the process, press down with a spoon, so the juice squeezes out. Discard the tomatoes on top of cheesecloth (compost!).

Add celery salt into the cup and stir.

Serve and enjoy your fresh tomato juice!

How do you preserve tomato juice at home?

Home canning. First time canning? If you haven’t done it before, home canning is fairly easy. Place tomato juice in canning jars and close the lid tight. Boil in a hot water bath for 10 minutes. Then let the jars sit at room temperature until cool. Then you can keep it for up to one year, but once it’s opened, you need to use it within a week and store it in the refrigerator.

Although a blender will definitely make this recipe easier, it is possible to make tomato juice by hand. The first step is to soften the tomatoes. Let the tomatoes simmer in a large pan over medium heat with a splash of water for roughly 20-30 minutes. Once that step is done, through a sieve, extract the juice by hand or press down on the tomatoes with a large spoon or potato masher and let it drip into a bowl to catch the juice.
