Sweet tangy homemade tomato juice! This easy to prepare recipe makes just enough fresh tomato juice for the family to enjoy throughout the week. Or serve as a base for a batch of signature bloody Mary’s for festive week-end entertaining. Because tomatoes are random sliced chunks before simmering, this offers a great way to use up less than perfect from the garden or farmer’s market. Homemade tomato juice will last in the refrigerator for 7 to 10 days; recipe can be reduced for smaller batches, if needed.
