But among them were branches with fruits of red, orange and golden yellow. They were cultivated by the Aztec and Inca tribes. European residents liked these plants so much that they began to actively use them to decorate flower beds, flower beds and arbors.

The history of the appearance of tomatoes on the dining table

Modern housewives know how to preserve and pickle tomatoes, how to prepare tomato juice for the winter, how to make adjika or tomato paste. And a few centuries ago, people did not even imagine that red fruits could be eaten at all. In the northern part of America, they were considered poisonous, a deadly poison. Historians give the following example of this use of tomatoes: in order not to fall out of favor with George, the king of England, they wanted to poison the future president of the United States, George Washington, with these fruits. After the "assassination attempt", he, in addition to living for several more decades, also took the first position in the state.

In 1811, in the newly published Botanical Dictionary, it was very subtly mentioned that the tomato is a deadly seedling, but in Italy pepper, oil and garlic are added to it. In Bohemia and Portugal, it was also used to make sauces, sour and tasty. And in the homeland of tomatoes - Peru and Mexico - the Aztecs and Incas were engaged in the cultivation of tomatoes as early as the fifth century BC. From the same period they began and eat these fruits.

The ruler ordered to make a report on "outlandish fruits and unusual growths" that were grown on the plantations of Europe. The Russian ambassador in Paris dropped everything, filled baskets to the top with fruits unknown in his native country, and set off to surprise the empress. The cultivation of tomatoes as one of the vegetable crops in our country began only in 1850. In Georgia, the Lower Volga region and the Crimea, the first fields were planted. Therefore, tomatoes hit the table as an edible product a little more than one century ago. After that, cooks learned how to make homemade tomato juice for the winter from the fruits. Today, the cultivation of "golden apples" is practiced in the south and in the north. Yes, yes, they are also planted in distant Yakutia, where continuous permafrost reigns.

How to make tomato juice for the winter

Squeezing tomatoes through a juicer is not the best method for making a homemade drink. Other methods are more suitable for this purpose, which make it possible to obtain a thick, homogeneous liquid containing a high percentage of useful pulp. Juicers squeeze only juice from vegetables, and a large amount of such valuable pulp, along with skins and seeds, goes into the trash can.

Do not be lazy and squeeze the liquid out of the fruit by hand. Such juice can be both sweet and sour. If you do not know how to make homemade tomato juice, then use our recommendations. To make a sweet drink from tomatoes, purchase overripe large and fleshy fruits (about six kilograms). Wash them, cut them up and put them in a large bowl. Put the pot on a slow fire. Do not add water, the tomatoes will heat up and release the liquid themselves. Stir the contents of the pot. Boil vegetables until they can be easily rubbed through a sieve.

After the mass in the pan boils, it should cook for about another hour. But the cooking time depends on how ripe the tomatoes themselves are. Prepare a wire sieve. When the tomatoes are boiled, through it you will grind them. Bring the resulting juice to a boil, remove the foam and pour the drink into jars, which are sterilized in advance. Roll up containers and store at room temperature.

Just cook

Very often, housewives prepare tomato juice without sterilization. To do this, steam the lids and jars in a steam bath for 5-10 minutes. The temperature of the juice itself before bottling should reach 96 degrees. The containers must also be very hot when they are being filled. As soon as they are full, they must immediately be rolled up with lids.

Now we prepare the drink itself: cut the tomatoes into halves and twist through a meat grinder. The resulting substance is brought to a boil and rubbed through a sieve. The resulting liquid is poured into an enameled pan and boiled for about 15 minutes until all the foam disappears. Pour the drink into hot jars and close the lids. Tomato juice at home according to this recipe comes out delicious and thick. Get ready, you won't regret it!

And a juicer can be useful

Now let's get acquainted with how to prepare tomato juice for the winter through a juicer. To do this, prepare 3.5 kg of red fruits, 5 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of salt. Wash the tomatoes and run them through the machine. Boil the resulting juice for about one hour, then add sugar and salt. Boil the liquid for another quarter of an hour. Then pour it into jars and roll up the lids. You should get about three liters of the finished product.

Tomato juice with bell pepper

There is another way to prepare tomato juice for the winter. This time we will cook it with the addition of bell pepper.

Ingredients:

• 1 bucket of tomatoes;
• 3 cloves of garlic;
• 3 bell peppers;
• 1 head of onion.

Rinse all vegetables. Scald the tomatoes and dip in cold water, immediately remove the skin. Cut all the vegetables and twist through a meat grinder or pass through a juicer. Grind the resulting slurry through a fine sieve, pour into an enameled container and boil. In the meantime, sterilize the jars. As soon as the juice boils, pour it into jars and close the lids.

No celery anywhere

You can also prepare tomato juice for the winter with celery. For this, in addition to 3 kilograms of tomatoes, you will need: 1 kilogram of petiole celery, ground black pepper and salt to taste.

Twist the vegetables with a meat grinder and grind them through a sieve. Bring the resulting drink to a boil. Now add the washed and chopped celery to it. Bring back to a boil and continue to simmer until the celery is soft. After that, grind the whole mass through a sieve and boil again.

Tomato juice (the recipe for the winter is described above) is easy to prepare, however, the process takes a considerable amount of time. But as a result of the efforts spent, you will receive vitamins the way nature created them. And besides that, treat yourself to a delicious and very healthy drink.

By purchasing tomato juice in the store, we do not get the amount of vitamins and minerals that we expect. The preservatives added to the industrial product negate all the beneficial properties of the drink. However, a home-cooked tomato retains vitamins for several years. The benefit of a tomato drink lies in the high content of phosphorus, iodine, cobalt, iron, calcium, magnesium, as well as vitamins PP, C, A, B, E.

How to choose the right tomatoes for harvesting juice for the winter

To make homemade tomato juice, choose only selected ripe, sweet red tomatoes (green and yellow tomatoes are not suitable). If unripe vegetables are used for processing, homemade food will be too sour or bitter, and overripe fruits will make it tasteless. Technologists who specialize in the industrial production of tomatoes advise selecting tomatoes with a sugar to acid ratio of about 8 for harvesting. The ideal varieties would be: Simferopol, Yerevani 14, Akhtubinsky, Saladny, Yuzhanin and others.
