How To Make Tomato Juice At Home | Easy Canning And Preserving Recipe
What happens here
Begin by selecting ripe tomatoes, ideally picked when they just start to turn color to avoid pest damage or splitting from rain. Allow them to ripen fully on your kitchen counter or a folding table. Once ripe, wash the tomatoes thoroughly by soaking them in a sink full of water for approximately 20 minutes to loosen dirt, then rinse them under cold running water. While washing, remove any bad spots from the tomatoes with a paring knife; coring is not necessary for juice.
Goal: Clean and ready tomatoes for the cooking process.
