5-6 stalks of celery, cleaned and lightly chopped
1-2 beets, cleaned, peeled and lightly chopped.
 2-3 dozen Spinach leaves, washed
Sprigs of Parsley

Wash tomatoes, remove stem, and cut into quarters.  Peeling is not necessary. The peel and seeds will be extracted in the strainer. Place cut up tomatoes into a 7 quart, or larger, cooking pot. Fill almost to the top. Cook on low heat.

If making a vegetable juice, add any or all, additional vegetables. Cook until vegetables have softened. Strain off some of the water, which will rise to the top.

Allow to cool slightly. Strain through a tomato strainer Add salt to taste. Put into the refrigerator for fresh juice. Or, can for winter consumption.


Tip: The key to a thick tomato juice, is to strain away  much of the water content. This can be done while cooking, before straining, and after the finished product has settled.
