    4000 gram Tomato Fresh - 1 large (3") - 183 g (33 Calories) (by GRAMMAP4)

Tips

Note, fresh herbs are better than dried if you have them. Experiment with new herbs, such as lovage (my favorite), lemon balm, etc.


Directions

In 8 qt pot, cut up raw beets, celery, carrots, onion, cabbage, and pepper. Cover with about 4 c. water. Bring to boil, then cook on simmer for 45 min. Keep water, don't drain! Meanwhile, in large stew pot, quarter tomatoes and herbs and cover with about 8 c. water. (Note: fresh herbs are better than dried if available. You can also add a little fresh lemon balm, sorrel, rosemary, lovage, kale, or just about any herb or veggie you like). Bring to boil and let simmer about 20 min. Peel the beets after cooking. Use a blender or vitamix to briefly blend batches of the veggies and juice. Then put the pulp through a food colander to remove tomato skin and seeds. For each quart of resulting juice, add: 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 t. Worchestershire sauce. Keep in fridge. Or if you wish to can the juice, put into 1-qt jars, properly seal with canning lids. Put in 7 quart water bath canner and cover jars with 1 in water. Bring to boil, then simmer for 20 min. Will keep canned for several years.
