Tomato Juice

I was supposed to teach a canning class yesterday but not enough people signed up for it. I suspect that the weather was too nice—a beautiful late summer day. Since I had already ordered a box of organic tomatoes from my local farm, I decided to make some tomato juice.

Washing all of the tomatoes, I placed them on my kitchen table. Taking out my Squeezo-Straino (a device that sends the skins and seeds to one bowl and the pulp and juice to another), I cut them and fed them through. Two pots on the stove received the good stuff. The skins and seeds went into a pail to be given to the chickens.

Garlic was minced next. I left it in the small bowl for 10 minutes before adding it to the juice so that it could make its medicine.
