I had this recipe

 > HOME-STYLE TOMATO JUICE
 > 
 > 10 to 12 large fresh tomatoes
 > 1 tsp. salt
 > 1/4 tsp. pepper
 > 1 tsp. seasoned salt
 > 1 Tbsp. sugar
 > 
 > Wash and drain the tomatoes, removing the core and
 > blossom end. Place in your crock-pot or slow cooker. Cover
 > and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or until real mushy. Press
 > through a food mill or sieve; add seasonings and chill. Makes
 > about 4 cups of real good tomato juice. You may want to thin
 > this a little as it is fairly thick. Excellent over ice cubes.


I modified it slightly

I used 2 qt  (2 lbs) of cherry  tomatoes.
First Batch  I used 1 ring of fire chile pepper instead of black 
pepper.  ( for the mild one at my place)  Also first chile ripe on the 
Granite pile.

I put the tomatoes and pepper thru a food mill before cooking , So I 
didn't have to handle hot stuff.
Darn,  OH drank the whole qt within an hour,  I only had a sip

BTW  If you let this cook for 12 hours,  you need 1 oz of juice to 1 oz 
of vodka to thin it enough.
