Low Sodium Tomato Juice

this gem was buried in a post about soup, and I wish to highlight it. I get so frustrated with the sodium levels of most tomato products. Thankfully, there are plenty of no salt added varieties of most common tomato canned products.

But look at the side of a V8 or tomato juice . oh my.

But you can make your own tomato juice using tomato paste and water. 1:4 tomato paste to water. Now that is a bargain. Use no salt added tomato paste, ad no salt added water, and you get no salt added tomato juice. Now to cram in 7 other ingredients for a v8. sorry man, you're on your own. `

The graphic is a screen shot of a pdf that I made of it.

at one point I made a new version of this using the chili powder recipe I have previously linked. Careful readers can do something similar. It also cuts the number of spices down by one. I suppose you could break down the pumpkin pi spice into its component parts, but I won't, because I am widely known for my pumpkin pies at thanksgiving, so I think its "cute" to have the spice in my chili. Even though, like chili powder, Pumpkin Pie Spice is just a common ratio of spices used in the most common pumpkin pie recipe. And originally chili powder had the same purpose for chili, but not people use it as an ingredient, then add many of the same things already in the chili powder. Conversely, despite how it may sound, "Allspice" is not a mixture but a real deal. The British thought it had a multi-flavor aspect to it, thus naming it allspice.

all repeition is due to the 3 year gap in my posts Grin
