Tomato Juice Cocktail
This thick, flavorful drink has become an additional reason for raising tomatoes. The fruit is a staple in the Amish diet, in many forms—sliced fresh, stewed, made into multiple baked dishes, and cooked into soup.
This basic recipe is itself healthily versatile. It can be drunk as an appetizer or snack; it can form the basis of a well spiced soup.
