Tomato Juice - Home Canning

[miss]

DH had me plant 27 tomato plants. Yes, 27. He bought about 25 different pepper plants too. I don't know what he was thinking. But, I'm thinking I would like to can some tomato juice. DH has been loving the near free V8 and is all out.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to a safe recipe to can or a place to find one?

Thanks!

I use to make a homemade kind of like V-8 juice when I use to garden. Sometimes I made it kind of spicy by adding hot sauce and worchestshire. I use to just add celery and carrots and stuff to the tomatoes when I was cooking them down to make juice and then pressed them through a sieve and then canned them like you would normal tomato juice. I know most recipes call for pressure canning, but I just open bath canned alot of my stuff. HTH
