Notes
.***To make your own tomato juice, place tomatoes in high-speed blender with a ¼ cup of water and blend on high for 30-45 seconds or until well blended. Pour the tomato juice through a nut bag to remove all the pulp.
I make gazpacho, but I’ve never made my own tomato juice. I’m definitely going to try this!!!
That’s great Bobbi! Can’t wait to hear about your results! I love making my own and being able to control everything that goes in!
