Tomato Juice

Fourteen pounds of the first picking of the tomatoes was made into juice.The tomatoes were cut into small chunks and three beets were added to enhance colour, since tomatoes by themselves are not very red but rather blasé in appearance.(Imagine what is added to the commercial supermarket tomato juice).The two ingredients were cooked about 15 minutes, and blended into a slurry. This was then stained twice, since I choose a too course screen for the food mill, and the seeds were not removed with the first pass.The residue from both feed mills straining was put through the Champion Juicer to extract all nutrients. The product was placed in 7 litre jars and pressure canned at 15 PSI for 15 minutes.

I'm not trying to rile you, Durgan - but I feel I must point out that your juice has 0.827 grams of glutamate per cupful.

Sorry - couldn't resist

And the connotation being? Are you suggesting that it is equivalent to MSG?

As far as the human body is concerned, it is metabolically identical. But it was just a good-natured poke, Durgan.

Except for the mono sodium bit. Glutamate is everywhere.
