Tomato Juice
"This is not a tried recipe but an adaptation from my "Juicer" recipes. It is expensive to make in off season as 12 tomatoes only make 4 glasses of juice. You can enhace the flavor by adding a slice of onion, a bay leaf & a bit of parsley or leave it plain. The tabasco is nice as it takes up the slack from no salt.Please let me know if it turns out. The request was for a low sodium"

We have a very nice sized garden and always have a great crop of tomatoes each summer.I can at least 50 to 75 quarts each year.Depending on what I want to can, whether it be plain tomato juice with nothing added,no salt no lemon juice, just plain tomato juice natural.I make Bloody Biker Bloody Mary's juice, Tomato Sauce, canned Roma Tomatoes whole, stewed tomatoes and salsa! But, plain canned tomato juice can be used for just about anything that calls for juice.I use it as starting base for homemade Chili.I always keep 1 quart cold in the frig just to drink. If you have a Kitchen Aid mixer, take a look at the picture of the attachment here. It make it so much faster to can any types of juice! Thanks Bergy! -
This had a very good taste, the celery added a more "vegetable" type taste to it. It was as good as the canned vegetable juice from the grocery store. I left out the Tabasco sauce and added just a little salt to it. I think I'll also try it without the celery when I feel like having plain tomato juice. Your instructions were very easy to follow also. I appreciate that a lot! Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
Here are a few of my photos
