Scale:

Ingredients

  • 5 pounds fresh very ripe garden tomatoes (we recommend including some small, sweet varieties such as cherry or orange sun glow tomatoes along with the larger varieties)
  • 1 1/2 cups celery with leaves, roughly cut up
  • 2 cups chopped onion
  • 1 cup Italian flat leaf parsley including stems
  • 1 orange bell pepper cut into chunks
  • 1/2 cup carrot roughly cut
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon sriracha
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 3 tablespoons fresh mint
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
  • 1 small knob fresh ginger peeled (about one inch)
  • 1 small beet peeled and roughly cut (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Instructions

  1. Core and remove stems from the tomatoes and cut into quarters.
  2. Place all ingredients into a large pot, cover and bring to a boil and cook on a low boil for ten minutes.
  3. Remove cover and push everything down to submerge and set to a medium simmer.
  4. Simmer for 25 minutes uncovered, then remove from the heat and cool slightly.
  5. Using a food mill (see here or here), press everything through the mill. Pour remaining liquid in with milled vegetables.
  6. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or sieve placed over a large enough bowl to collect the juice.
  7. Refrigerate the juice until chilled – then serve!
  8. This tomato juice will stay fresh refrigerated for up to a week. Leftovers may be frozen in zipper seal bags.
