- 1 can tomato paste
- 4 cans of tap water
Use any size can of tomato paste. Usually
they come in 12-oz or 6-oz sizes. Open the
can and scrape the thick concentrated tomato
paste into a large jar or juice pitcher.
Fill the can with water 4 times, and pour
the water in with the tomato paste. Stir it
up really well.
It will be unsalted, which I believe
makes it taste fresher, but you may add salt
to taste if you like. Some folks like to add
a little Hot Sauce or Worcestershire Sauce
for flavor. Personally, I like it well
chilled and straight from the fridge. It has
a tangy refreshing flavor which reminds me
of summertime tomato harvesting.
Use it anywhere you would regular canned
tomato juice. Here is a substitute which
costs less than a third of it's commercial
counterpart, and actually tastes ten times
better. Being thrifty pays off in flavor,
health and savings.
