Рецепт Fresh Home-Pressed Tomato Juice
Fresh Home-Pressed Tomato Juice
What else can you do with all those juicy tomatoes? Your neighbor gives you some to add to the bowl on your counter and you dread the thought of peeling and cooking down the tomatoes for hours to make a fresh sauce. The alternative is to make yourself some delicious, fresh tomato juice. There is no peeling necessary - just the help of a food mill. For breakfast, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and some freshly ground black pepper or fix yourself a spicy Bloody Maria.
Fresh Tomato Juice
3 lbs. fresh tomatoes (about 12 medium)
1 rib celery, including leaves
1/2 medium Vidalia onion
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
Wash tomatoes. Cut into quarters. Remove core and add to a heavy saucepan. Add celery and onion and simmer about 30 minutes, or until tomatoes break down.
Pass through a food mill to remove skin and seeds.
To each quart of juice, add 1 tsp. each of salt and sugar.
Chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
Makes 1 quart
