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. :-) L.B.
