Step cooking

Make tomato juice

1. First, carefully rinse with cold water from the tap 1-1.5 kg of tomatoes. It is best to use juicy, soft, watery varieties of pink or red tomatoes. For the preparation of juice pouring, it is completely allowed to use substandard vegetables: cracked, rotted, blackened and so on. We cut off the damaged areas, remove the stalk and cut the tomatoes into 3-4 parts, depending on the size. We send the tomatoes to the blender bowl, where we grind to a porridge-like state.
   
2. We wipe the resulting mass through a fine sieve to get rid of large particles, peels and seeds.
   

Prepare the tomatoes

In the area of ​​the stalk we make several punctures with a toothpick or wooden skewer. This is necessary so that the fruits are well salted.

3. Using a ladle, pour the tomatoes with boiling water, then cover the jar with a sterilized lid and leave it in this form for 3-4 minutes.
   
4. During this time, the jars of vegetables warmed well and now drain the water into the sink.
