Cooking procedure

Prepare everything you need. Wash the tomatoes. You need to take ripe and soft ones, but in no case overripe ones; because of them, ready-made tomato juice for the winter may turn out to be tasteless.

Cut into arbitrary pieces, removing the stems. Place in a large saucepan of suitable size.

Place on the fire and cook until they become soft.

Press the mixture through a sieve to remove the tomato skin and seeds. Discard whatever remains on top of the sieve.

Return the pan with tomato juice to the stove. Add the required amount of sugar and salt. Here you can navigate by the volume of juice that was obtained after rubbing.

Stir and let it boil. If foam forms, remove. Pour in table vinegar and taste. Those who like saltier tomato juice can add a little more salt.

Pour into sterilized jars and roll up. If you want to drink right away, store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
