How to Make Tomato Juice Easy Cheap Handy

  1. Empty the contents of one (6 ounce) can of tomato paste into a pitcher.
  2. Thoroughly scrape the can with a spoon to remove any remaining paste.
  3. Fill the empty can with water. Pour the water into the pitcher.
  4. Repeat step 3 three more times (for a total of four water additions).
  5. Stir the mixture vigorously with the spoon (the paste residue will help blend everything!).
  6. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt (or to taste).
  7. Stir again until the salt is fully dissolved.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill before serving.
  9. **Bonus Tip:** Cut off the other end of the can to create a fun cookie cutter for smaller cookies or biscuits!
  10. **Next Time:** Use the empty tomato sauce can for a larger cookie cutter!
