Wondering what you can do with all those end of the harvest veggies that come in, when you have enough of everything else processed? Turn them into a nutrition-packed juice that can be a drink as it, or a great soup base.
MY RECIPE:
Makes 11+ pints.
6-8 lbs ripe tomatoes and juice, cored, chunked (remove bad spots)-add after other veg to equal 7-8 qts in stock pot
2-3 large bell peppers, cut into chunks
2 med-large onions, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2-1/2 to 3 C chopped carrots
1 head celery, sliced (yes, the full package-stalks only)
optional veggies: beets, spinach, kale, horseradish to taste
1/4 C fresh or 1 T dried parsley
1/4 C fresh or 1 T dried basil
1 T sea salt
1 tsp black pepper
2 bay leaves
1 T coconut aminos or Worcestershire sauce
2 T sugar
1/2 C lemon juice
Directions:
Stir to combine in large stock pot or bowl.
Cook on the stove top for 30 minutes, OR transfer 1/2 of mixture to the Instant Pot (or other electric pressure cooker). Cook on manual for 18 minutes. Natural release (may need to help release after 30 min). Pour into another pot or stainless bowl. Repeat with remaining mixture.
Optional: fill roaster with mixture. Cook for 4 hrs at 250ºF.
Let all mixtures cool until slightly warm.
Remove bay leaves. Run all mixture through a food mill, fine mesh strainer, or juicer. Pour contents into clean pot or large bowl. Stir to combine well. Taste for proper seasoning. No need to reheat since pressure canning.
Fill pint or quart jars to 1/2-inch headspace. Clean rims and add lids. Tighten rings to finger-tight. Pressure can 20 minutes for both size jars.

this is amazing, it looks sooo good. We love V8. Thank you for sharing this recipe, how I wish I would of thought about this. Have a young mom that I know that it was her 1st year of gardening and she was flooded with tomatoes, she does not can yet. I took some of her frozen tomatoes and canned for her. She has a WB and pressure canner she is just afraid yet, she has a large family. This would work amazing for her as well. Going to check with her and see if she still has tomatoes in her freezer. I am going to keep this recipe and give it a try for us and for this other family. She has 7 kids so they would use it well. Bless you and your one busy lady and Ms Green Thumb for sure.

Cathy, Thank you for this terrific video. As a fellow canner of V-Eight juice, I really appreciate your great ideas on using the InstaPot and Roaster to process the batches. Thanks also for the ingredient quantities on a 'per pound' of tomato basis. Btw, it is a pleasure to listen to you share your process for using up garden tomatoes because it is apparent that you have a kind and sweet personality. On a side note, i just recently starting using my immersion blender once the veggies are tender and just before i strain the product into my jars for canning. it works well to thicken the juice.
