What is tomatoes, canned with juice?

These are whole or cut tomatoes packed in their own tomato juice rather than thick puree. The juice is real, ripe-tomato liquid, so it tastes fresher and brighter than the heavy concentrate that comes with paste-style packs.

Use the whole can, juice included. That liquid carries flavor and acidity, so draining it throws away the part you most want. Tip it into the pot and let it cook down.

They do their best work in long-simmered dishes where the juice reduces and the chunks soften. A San Francisco-Style Cioppino leans on that loose, brothy liquid, while Tri-Color Pasta uses it to coat the noodles without a separate sauce.

For how to crush these and what to swap them with, see tomatoes, canned.
