Margie, I have an old cookbook that belonged to my grandmother and inside of it I found her handwritten recipe for tomato juice.I've never made it but I had enough of hers to know that it was very good. I don't know if it is what you are looking for or not but here it is:
Peel tomatoes and boil for 15 minutes until soft. Let cool and put into blender. Use puree setting on blender. Strain through wire strainer to remove seeds. Bring to a boil with salt added to taste and a little sugar.
She does not give any specific measurements. I guess she was so used to making it that she had it all in her head! Anyway maybe you can use this. If you try it let me know how it comes out. Stew Face 1
