Devices - "assistants"

To prepare tomato juice according to any recipe you like, you need to grind the red fruits into porridge, squeeze and boil the liquid. The cooking process can be facilitated by kitchen appliances. The culinary specialist decides which unit to choose. However, you should take into account the features of household appliances so as not to be disappointed with the result. The table gives basic ideas about devices that help to squeeze tomato juice.

Table - Advantages and disadvantages of household appliances for cooking tomato

Appliance	Advantages	disadvantages
Juicer	- Gives a lot of ready-made juice, leaves little cake; - makes a homogeneous juice without pulp and foam; - ideal for soft vegetables and fruits	- Makes a lot of noise (cheap models); - does not cope with solid products; - turns some vegetables and fruits into puree, but not into juice; - works for a long time
Blender	- Crushes and mixes in a few minutes; - copes with products of any hardness (from root crops to eggs)	- Makes puree, not juice; - oxidizes plant products; - makes a lot of noise
Pressure cooker or juice cooker	- Cooks quickly due to strong heating; - makes ready-made juice that does not require additional processing (can be immediately poured into sterile containers); - preserves vitamins and color of ingredients	- Requires preliminary processing of ingredients (tomatoes should be peeled, cut); - does not allow the valve to open during cooking, therefore, the products are laid before the start of the process; - leaves quite a lot of "waste" that can be recycled
Multicooker	- Prepares according to the established mode; - allows for the adjustment of the recipe: changing the time, adding spices during the cooking process	- Requires preliminary grinding of products; - it only helps to thermally process the juice, which can be done in a regular saucepan

If there are no automatic appliances in the kitchen, you can skip the fruits through a manual meat grinder or grate them on a regular grater. The tomato mass will turn out no worse, but the process itself will take time.

5 cooking principles

One of the tasks of conservation is to prevent mold and fermentation. For this, vinegar solution, spices, hot seasonings are added to the blanks. Five rules for preparing a drink will help to comply with all the subtleties.

Selection of fruits. Fleshy, ripe or even overripe fruits are suitable for juice. Tomatoes should be soft to the touch. Tainted and deformed tomatoes can be used, but all flaws must be cut out before cooking. Brown, green and dense watery fruits will not work. They are best left for pickles and salting.
Removal of skin and seeds. To make the juice homogeneous, you need to get rid of the seeds and skins. To remove the skin, the fruit can be blanched. It is easy to get rid of skins and seeds at the same time using a sieve. First, grind the tomatoes into porridge, and then pass the mass through a fine metal sieve installed above the pan.
Cooking. This process extends the shelf life of the beverage. Tomato juice should be boiled from fresh tomatoes crushed and passed through a sieve. In fact, the finished freshly squeezed juice is only slightly boiled to kill germs, make the consistency thicker and more rich. Do not cook for a long time, otherwise you will get a paste, not juice. You can only use enameled dishes.
The integrity of the container. The glass storage container must be free of chips and cracks. The covers must be free of scratches or damage. The slightest defects can compromise the seal during storage.
Sterility. Even partial sterilization is difficult to do without. Sterilization of containers gives confidence in the safety of the product. The utensils for storage must first be washed and then sterilized in the oven, microwave, saucepan, over steam. Juice can only be poured into a dry, warm container.

It is recommended to add spices and seasonings to taste. Most often these are dried herbs, peas, but you can close the drink with chunks of fresh Bulgarian or hot peppers. Basil, oregano, cinnamon, mint, red pepper can be combined with tomatoes.

Reviews: "From 40 kg of tomatoes - 32 liter cans"

Yesterday I was looking for a recipe for how to make juice, but I could not find a clear one, so I collected it a little from everyone and closed it. Leftovers tasted delicious. So, wash the tomatoes, I cut out the stalks, twist them in a meat grinder with a special attachment or squeeze them in a juicer. Put to boil in an enamel bowl (I read that it is impossible in aluminum), when it boils, add salt (I added 1 tbsp for 7 liters), spices, bay leaf, peppercorns, I added a couple of cloves umbrellas, in general, to taste and boil 10 -12 minutes, pour into hot sterilized jars and twist !!!
Julia, http: // forum. say7.info/topic46891.html

The juice is simple: cut the tomatoes into a saucepan: into quarters, small into halves, press so that the juice covers the bottom. On the stove over low heat under the lid for 20 minutes. The time depends on the number of tomatoes. Pour everything into a colander and press through with a potato grinder, throw away the rest. Bring it to a boil, salt to taste .. a little .. and in cans. You can have an aspirin, but I think it's too much. By the way, if you want without seeds, then you need to go through a sieve, it's more difficult. But in any case it is better than through a meat grinder ... And if you want thicker .. for tomato, adjika or sauce, you do not need to boil, just wait until the pulp settles .. drain the clear juice that is on top.

Very simple and delicious tomato juice for the winter! Wash the tomatoes, cut into large pieces. Pass through a screw juicer - so the skin and seeds will go to waste, only juice and pulp will remain. Boil, add 0.5-1 hour. l. salt per 1 liter of juice, let it boil for 10 minutes, pour into clean dry jars, roll up, turn upside down, wrap for a day. Can be stored at room temperature. I put 1 hour. l .. without a slide for every liter, my husband liked it, but for me it was salty.

Bon Appetit!

Tomato is an unusually healthy and tasty vegetable that is widely used in cooking. It contains all the minerals the body needs, and there are also such deficient ones as magnesium and iron. Tomatoes are one of the main sources of folate, which the body needs for the immune and circulatory system. In addition, tomato contains many useful vitamins, especially ascorbic acid and part of the B vitamins. It also contains fiber that stimulates digestion.

That is why in many conditions that require stimulation of the immune system, mainly accompanied by a breakdown, tomatoes can serve not only as food, but also as a medicine. They will also help with diseases of the blood vessels, with some types of toxicosis in pregnant women. Moreover, you can use not only fresh tomatoes, but also the juice itself. This juice is tasty and useful even for healthy people, it is one of those few drinks, not sweet, but pleasant to the taste. And making tomato juice, if desired, at home is not at all difficult.

In general, the best juice is natural, squeezed from ripe fruits or vegetables just before consumption. It can be obtained using a juicer or using a blender. But such juice is only available during the harvest season. And the juice prepared in this way should be drunk immediately.

In order to preserve the juice for the future, it is impossible to do without heat treatment, despite the fact that canning will destroy some of the nutrients. There are many recipes for making tomato juice. And choosing exactly the one that you like will not be difficult.

How to make tomato juice?

If you want to get a sufficiently high yield of the finished product, you need to choose fleshy varieties of tomatoes that have few seeds for distilling juice: Alekseevna F1, Baloven, Sumoist, since more juicy tomatoes will give more juice per kilogram. Pink tomatoes: Korneevsky, Fatima, Pink Flamingo give excellent results in the production of juice.

Juicing should start with preparing the tomato. To do this, you need to remove the seeds and skin from them, bring the pulp to the state of a paste. There are different ways to achieve this.

A juicer is one of the simplest and most affordable options. It retains pieces of skin and seeds, but when used, a significant amount of pulp is lost. Therefore, for many, it is preferable to use a meat grinder. But in this case it is necessary to remove the skin from the tomato. For this purpose, place the tomato on a fork, dip it in boiling water for a few seconds, and then pour it over with cold water. With this treatment, the skin is easily removed. But with this method, seeds still remain.

To get a more uniform consistency, tomatoes are sometimes rubbed through a sieve, usually metal. This method requires additional preparation of the fruit, since it will not work with fresh tomatoes. To begin with, boil the tomatoes until they are soft. Some people advise for this option to heat chopped tomatoes directly in a saucepan without adding water. Others suggest that you first squeeze a little juice by hand, bring it to a boil and then keep the tomato slices on cheesecloth over it for about 5 minutes.

After obtaining a sufficiently homogeneous liquid mass, the process of preparing tomato juice for long storage begins.

The easiest recipe.

Chop ripe fresh tomatoes, transfer to an enamel saucepan, then bring to a boil. Continue cooking without salt and spices, stirring until the foam disappears (about 15-20 minutes).

Please note that the faster the original mass heats up to boiling, the more uniform its consistency will be.

Ready juice should be immediately poured into sterilized dishes - glass jars or bottles are best for this purpose - and sealed. It is best to store this juice in a cool room (with temperatures below 12 degrees) or in the refrigerator.

The freshest recipe.

In order for the tomato juice to resemble freshly squeezed as much as possible, you need to bring the chopped fresh tomatoes to a boil, then immediately pour into glass bottles, close them and sterilize for 20-25 minutes. Such juice will preserve all vitamins and nutrients as much as possible.

The most exquisite recipe.

Ordinary natural juice without added salt and spices can sometimes seem too bland. To make the juice tastier, you need to add salt and sugar to taste during cooking (about 10 minutes before cooking), and after another couple of minutes spices (pepper, vinegar, cinnamon, garlic, and so on, depending on your taste and choice). Here is one of the suggested combinations: for 2 liters of tomato juice - one teaspoon of vinegar essence, 350 g of sugar, ¼ teaspoon of ground red pepper, 3-5 pieces of cloves, 15 grains of black peppercorns.

Tomato juice from tomato paste.

I would like to note the recipe, which usually causes a lot of controversy.

The easiest way to get tomato juice at home is to dilute store-bought tomato paste with water (about 2 teaspoons per glass of water). And at the same time, you get a drink that closely resembles purchased juice (but it will cost you much less).

But some believe that such tomato juice obtained from tomato paste cannot be called juice at all, and all the beneficial substances in such a product are killed by the cooking technology (meaning prolonged heating). It's a delusion. No evaporation is used in the production of tomato paste. The pulp of the fruit is separated from the juice using a special centrifuge.

The drink should not be consumed in large quantities on an empty stomach. Failure to do so can lead to stomach cramps. The recommended dose of the product is no more than one and a half glass per day, and if it is consumed excessively, the load on the kidneys increases significantly.

All of them are associated with the gastrointestinal tract: cholecystitis, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer, pancreatitis, gastritis.

When preparing a drink, some nuances must be taken into account. It is best if the juice is freshly prepared and without heat treatment. So the benefits from it will be most tangible. Only ripe fruits should be selected for the production of the drink. Unripe tomatoes contain a toxic substance - solanine. And of course, the finished product should be without added salt, as it affects the pressure increase.

The usefulness of tomato juice sold on store shelves in packages raises some doubts, since the shelf life does not always correspond to reality. And when preparing a drink, salt and sugar are almost always used, which may not be suitable for some group of people. Therefore, the greatest benefit will be brought by juice from tomatoes prepared by hand. In this case, there will be no doubts about the components in its composition.

There are several recipes for making juice at home. In some of them, not fresh fruits of the plant are used, but tomato paste. Others additionally add various ingredients to enhance the taste and health of the beverage. All this is done at the discretion of the hostess and depends on the available set of products.

Having prepared the juice at home, in the future you can roll it up in jars - this will make the useful product available at any time of the year. In order to make a drink, they choose exclusively ripe fruits that do not have any damage.

Preparation of tomato juice in many cases is carried out using a juicer or blender. Although some housewives prefer to make mashed tomatoes without a juicer, as when using it, an impressive part of the pulp is lost. In this case, the fruits can be minced.

The execution of the classic tomato juice recipe suitable for winter preservation will require 10 kg of ripe tomatoes, 100 g of sugar and salt to taste. Rinse the tomatoes under running water and remove the stalks. The finished fruits are cut into pieces and passed through a meat grinder. At the same time, a special nozzle for a meat grinder will help get rid of seeds and peels. If this is not available, you can wipe the resulting mass through a sieve, which will remove unnecessary residues.

The resulting juice is placed in a large saucepan, preferably enameled, and placed on the stove. After adding sugar and salt, the liquid is brought to a boil, stirring constantly. When the juice begins to boil, remove the formed foam from its surface and boil for another 2 minutes. The tomato juice is ready. If you plan to pour the drink into cans for preservation for the winter, then the cans must be prepared in advance by sterilizing them.

Tomato juice with a more piquant and memorable taste can be obtained by adding additional ingredients to the composition. To prepare a drink using a juicer you will need:

2 kg of tomatoes;
4 red chili peppers
5 heads of garlic;
4 tablespoons of sugar;
6 tablespoons of vinegar;
2 bay leaves.

After thoroughly washing the tomatoes, cut them into quarters. The peeled garlic is cut into medium pieces, and the chili peppers are finely chopped with a knife. The prepared ingredients are laid out in the upper container of the juicer, vinegar, sugar and bay leaf are added. Tightly covered with a lid, the mass is cooked over low heat for 15 minutes.

After this time, the tomato juice must be mixed, after which it is boiled for another 40 minutes. The juice prepared according to this recipe is also suitable for canning. The resulting drink is delicious and spicy.

Juice made from tomato paste cannot be called a full-fledged tomato drink, but for lack of a better one, this option will do. The recipe is absolutely simple and straightforward: it only needs high-quality tomato paste, salt and water.

Tomato sauce and ketchup are completely unsuitable for these purposes. It is necessary to use either high-quality expensive pasta, or a self-prepared product.

The cooking process itself will not take even a minute: the paste is diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 3, after which salt is added. Instant tomato juice is ready to drink. Add sugar or pepper if desired.

To find an explanation for this fact, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the types of store tomato juice.

Freshly squeezed is a natural tasty product, which is produced exclusively during the tomato picking season. Unfortunately, such a drink is rarely found on the market today, so many people prefer to prepare it at home. You can be completely confident in the quality of freshly squeezed tomato juice. It has a rare vitamin and mineral composition, therefore it is very useful for humans.
Concentrated - a drink with a rare consistency. For its manufacture, tomato juice is used, which was previously boiled eight times.
From tomato paste - this type of juice is made from tomatoes boiled five times.
From tomato puree - a drinkable product, in the production of which tomatoes are used, boiled three times. In terms of taste, as well as in consistency, it is very similar to freshly squeezed juice.

Tomato juice, reconstituted from concentrate, is less useful for humans, since during its preparation the raw materials are diluted with ordinary water. At the same time, it is taken in the amount in which it was withdrawn in the process of boiling fresh tomatoes.

How to choose and store?

To choose a good tomato juice, you should carefully study the product label. First of all, it is recommended to pay attention to the date of manufacture of the product. As mentioned earlier, a high-quality drink can only be produced in one time period: from July to October. Only during this period of time can you make real juice from tomatoes. If the product was produced in winter or spring, then the raw material for its preparation was reconstituted tomato concentrate. In the composition of such a drink, water must be indicated.

Regardless of the method of preparation, tomato juice must be sold exclusively in a hermetically sealed form. It can be contained in cardboard packaging, as well as in plastic and glass bottles. In the last two cases, it is possible to evaluate the juice externally. It must necessarily have a red color, as well as a thick, opaque consistency.

We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the basic technical requirements, which, according to the current GOST, the described product must meet.

During the examination it was revealed that the best and highest quality is packaged tomato juice of the brands Santal, J7 and Dobry. First of all, they are valued for their high pulp content, as well as for the fact that they do not contain preservatives.

After opening the package, the juice should be stored in the refrigerator at a temperature of two to five degrees for no more than a day.

If you follow the tips below, then brew the tastiest and healthiest tomato juice.

First of all, approach the choice of tomatoes as responsibly as possible. Choose the softest fruits, you can even slightly crumpled. Keep in mind that tough tomatoes are good for pickling, but not juicing. In addition, it is better to take tomato fruits with fleshy and juicy pulp.
In the composition of classic tomato juice, only tomatoes and spices should be present, but if you wish, these ingredients can be supplemented with carrots, bell peppers, beets or even some kind of fruit, for example, an apple.
There are several ways to squeeze juice from tomatoes. The most common is considered to be through a juicer. However, in this case, only a mechanical juicer is good, since an electrical appliance, as a rule, overheats quickly and requires a break almost every ten minutes.
You can also get the described product using a meat grinder equipped with a special nozzle for separating the juice. This method is advantageous in that very little waste remains in the juice making process, for which the previous method cannot be praised.
You can use the old method and get vegetable juice by boiling and then rubbing tomato fruits through a sieve. Despite the fact that this method is considered the most waste-free, it is also the most time-consuming and laborious. It is for this reason that few people use it today. You can make the process easier by pre-chopping vegetables, for example, using a blender or food processor.
The most popular way to get tomato juice at home is to make it with a juicer. When using this appliance, you can do other household chores at the same time. The only thing to do in this case is to periodically stir the tomato mixture so that the vegetable skin does not clog the tube through which the finished juice passes.

To do this, you can use any previously proposed method. Add the resulting tomato liquid with coarse salt (10 g), granulated sugar (1.5 tablespoons), as well as other spices (optional). Then mix the mixture and boil. Perform the last manipulation on the stove or in a multicooker. Then cool the boiled juice and use it as directed.

To obtain sweet juice, overripe large fleshy fruits are used. This juice can be drunk undiluted, or it can be slightly diluted with water. Small fruits produce a more acidic product that can be used as a natural preservative. It is suitable for cooking vegetables in tomato sauce.

Tomato paste juice

Homemade tomato juice is very tasty and healthy, but it has one significant drawback - it takes a lot of space to store the juice. If you remove excess liquid from the juice, for example, strain the tomato mass through several layers of gauze, you will get a concentrated product that will require much less space to store it.

In winter, to obtain juice, the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired density.

Another way to get tomato juice in winter is to dilute tomato paste with water. When choosing a basis for creating juice, you need to study the composition of tomato paste. The composition of a high-quality paste should be as short as possible: tomatoes. A very important indicator is the dry matter content. There should be at least 25% of them. No colorants, preservatives, thickeners or spices.

To prepare the juice, you need to dilute the tomato paste with water. It is pasta, not sauce or ketchup. Tomato paste is diluted in cold purified water in a 3: 1 ratio. With this ratio, you get thick tomato juice. For a thinner juice, a tablespoon of the paste is diluted in a glass of water. To improve the taste, salt, pepper and sugar are added to the juice to taste.

How to make tomato juice from tomato paste? First of all, it is worth considering how and for what purpose you will use the resulting delicious mixture. Tomato juice made from paste can be consumed in its purest form. In addition, it can be poured into various dishes. Products made from natural tomatoes are very different in quality and healthiness from those sold in stores. Do not forget that no matter how colorful or unpretentious the container is, inside it, as a rule, there is a mixture of paste, sulfate and water. However, from which tomatoes this product was made, and whether the production methodology was followed, buyers cannot know. For this reason, it makes sense to make a paste at home and convert it to tomato juice from the paste.

Why is it beneficial to make nectar from pasta at home

Having salted the drink, the customer will not feel the difference in taste and, of course, will want to purchase the necessary products. The price of a half-liter jar of pasta is fifty to sixty rubles. The initial cost of 1 liter of juice is a meager amount - sixteen to twenty-five rubles. However, for the purpose of making a vegetable drink, the tomato mass is needed directly. Ketchups and sauces are not suitable for this purpose. Some of the dried elements in the composition of the product must fluctuate between twenty five and forty percent. The content of additives, such as acidity and glucose regulators, is not welcome in the composition, only sulfate and water are allowed.

How to control product properties

Shake the jar and evaluate the density of the contents. If there is a lot of water in the composition, and the thickness of the paste is similar to sauce or ketchup, you have every reason not to trust the quality of the proposed product. The correct technology involves the following process: tomatoes are rubbed and cooked. After that, the raw materials are boiled in order to reduce moisture and increase part of the dried elements. If there are no concentrates in the composition of vegetable puree, it will fully manifest its beneficial properties in your body. Careful selection of tomato juice is considered the key to enriching the body with useful and important elements. Store-bought nectar is sold for 30-40 rubles. for 1 liter. There are additives in its composition, and the price is four times higher than the cost of juice made from pasta. This begs the question of why overpay if you can dilute a tomato with water, add salt and drink it, without worrying that the body will receive not very useful elements.
