FRESH TOMATO JUICE FROM SCRATCH
This recipe makes 4 cups of tomato juice.

Cut away the stem and any blemishes on the tomatoes. Quarter them and leave the skin on; place in a saucepan.
In the pan with the tomatoes, add the 1/2 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a simmer and crush the tomatoes to release the juice.
Cover and simmer slowly for 30 minutes and then remove from the heat and cool for 10 minutes.
Carefully strain and have a bowl under the sieve to catch the juice. You can reserve the pulp for any recipe that uses stewed tomatoes.
