can you make tomato sauce out of tomato juice?

It will be very thin and runny and not very saucelike. You could run the diced tomatoes in the blender or food processor and use that.

Making Tomato Juice

Yes, I think you could. It won't be as thick as Prego or Ragu sauce. I'm sure it'll do though.

Bring your tomato juice to a boil.

Chop the diced tomatoes

Wisk in the diced tomatoes into your boiling tomato juice.

Add diced celery,chopped mushrooms,spices.

Also, if you have some parmesan grated cheese I would add a little bit of that so it'll be more thick.

Also, if you have tomato paste I would add that to it.

TO MAKE IT NOT SO RUNNY I WOULD PUT MORE DICED TOMATOES AND TOMATOE PASTE TOGETHER AND LESS TOMATO JUICE. Keep adding in more tomato Juice. You can decide on how it looks!

GOOD LUCK i HOPE THIS WORKS..

I would think you could, you'll just have to simmer the juice for hours until it becomes like sauce. I don't know if plan to make tomato sauce or pasta sauce with it, if you're making tomato sauce you don't really need to add anything. If your making pasta sauce you'll need to add some herbs and spices.

I've never made sauce from juice before but i've made it from tomatoes from my garden. When I make it from my garden tomatoes first I peel the skin off and take the seeds out, then I put the tomatoes in a blender and liquify them. After doing that they're almost like tomato juice ( it's a little thicker) and then I just simmer it down until it's the consistency of sauce. I then can the sauce for use in recipes, and to make pasts sauce throughout the rest of the year.

So the bottom line is I'm not 100% sure you make juice into sauce but I'd guess you could, it'd just take hours of simmering. Honestly you'd be better off just going to the store and buying some tomato or pasta sauce.

That's gonna be nasty... you'll need several things to make a sauce. Onions and garlic for one, plus seasonings like salt, pepper and perhaps some oregano, basil, thyme.

Tomato paste will thicken it; otherwise it will be like tomato soup with stuff floating in it. Unless you have an immersion blender, then you may be able to make it all chopped up and saucy. A regular blend would work perhaps.

Tomato sauce is like 2 bucks a jar though; go get some.

Bring your tomato juice to a boil and then reduce the heat. Cook until the mixture has reduced and become thick. Add your diced tomatos and continue cooking. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs for sauce you can use in pasta dishes. Add a little olive oil to the thickened mixture to add richness.

If you have a can of tomato paste, add the tomato paste to 2 cups tomato juice.. will be about the same as sauce... Just add a little sugar, salt, and pepper to it.. As well as oregano, thyme, and a pinch of rosemary.

I tried that one time because I ran out of sauce, I actually found that the juice tastes much better in spaghetti than the sauce does.

yea, you but tomatoes in the tomato juice and you mash it in there, and then add those basil and other herbs. if you like peppers and garlic and then add that too. I like it with garlic and tomatoes and peppers and mushrooms.

Good question.

I know you can with diced and whole tomatoes so I don't see why not.

Just try it.

Simmer it down.
