That tomato juice can be nothing but delicious 😋!! Thanks for sharing. I admire anyone who doesn't watch much TV. It's a total waste of precious time !!! God's blessings 🙏
I love this video of tomato juice and veggie juice. Sarah you are such a wonderful teacher and we are blessed to have you. Thank you, God bless and Much Love ~
Just brought back a really good memory I'd like to share my mom made this one year with extra tomatoes and vegetables she had one of dad's hot peppers left and added it it made it slightly spicy but it was not hot by a long shot we were younger children at that point and could drink it easily. Was extremely cold that winter and when Dad came in from chores he wanted a mug of this heated he put just a little pad of butter on the top of it a big shake of pepper and sat there before he really even got his working clothes off and really enjoyed that that winter and I think he ended up drinking most of that batch all by himself.
I just want to say that I enjoyed the light music you played while chopping. It’s not something you usually add and it was a nice touch to the video! Of course I love the canning videos! I watch them all. You have taught me so much about canning I hope you continue to show us more!
I love how u stressed the importance of following a canning recipe is!! Years ago I didn't realize that...all was fine, but it is not fine with me anymore now that I ended up learning about that safety issue! I am not going to jeopardize getting the people I love sick or all my hard work go to waste....I can " by guess and by golly"in my cooking and baking, but not my canning! 🥰
You can add more vegetables but you have to add citric acid or lemon juice and use a ph meter to ensure it is lower than 4.6 ph. That is the magic number. Check Rose red homestead's channel. She has done several videos on ph and safe canning methods. She has a PhD in science and is a fabulous teacher.
@@kellygarnet6329 that's a good idea...but for now I like to follow an approved recipe...I will give that channel a look later this winter to study up on 👍👍
That is a delicious recipe...I tried it many years ago. Now that I have a pressure canner I can go all-out with veggies and pressure can for vegetable broth time. I made V-15 juice this year and will drink it as juice. Thank you for showing us the finale to your beautiful tomato harvest.
I am a long time subscriber and loyal viewer but rarely comment. Today I felt it was important to “thank you” for talking about canning this recipe safely. Too many RUclips channels pass on their own recipes that they can which are not approved and often not safe. That is a potential danger especially to new canners who may not understand all of the safety guidelines. I truly appreciate the responsibility you take for the safety of others in your canning videos! Thank you again!
You're absolutely correct about waterbath canning recipes. The acidity level must be high to properly preserve the food. If you want to make the juice off recipe, pressure canning is the way to go using the longest time of the ingredients included. Enjoy that juice. It's beautiful and very tasty I'm sure. A mug full on a cold winter evening is alluring.
You can add more vegetables but then add more lemon juice, citric acid or even vinegar. Use a ph meter - available on Amazon inexpensively - and ensure the ph is below 4.6. You can still water bath can under 4.6 ph.
Just love the crisp crunchy veggies being chopped. I also enjoy letting the sun shine at my kitchen table when I'm chopping and looking at how pretty the veggies look with the sun shining through them, esp. Tomato wedges.
I love watching you and your children and well I don't see your kids your kids are not on there but your husband and you and thank you for sharing your life with me here in clintonville Wisconsin this is Mona thank you God bless your family shalom
Sarah, FYI, dish towel on top of blender will help keep an accidental oops from burning your hands etc…experience talking…wasn’t fun. Beauty of a garden this year.. God bless and keep you and yours! Stay safe!✝️❣️
Years ago we did green tomatoe relish! It tasted just like regular sweet pickle relish! It was very good. It was a wonderful way of not wasting our green tomatoes! Have a wonderful day and thanks for your videos!
My mom always made "Piccalily" (spelling?? lol) relish out of end of season green tomatoes. It's delicious and you can find recipes for it still. It has cloves and other spices in it...very unique but delicious! I've also seen recipes here on RUclips for canning green tomato slices that claim they make awesome fried green tomatoes you can have all Winter! Haven't tried yet but am planning to.
My mother used to make a pear relish that we used like sweet pickle relish on black-eyed peas. I asked her many years ago about the recipe, but she didn't know where it was. In cleaning out her estate this summer, going through her cookbooks, I found it! Hand-written in her gorgeous cursive script. Can't wait till Bartlett pears come off next year. Missed this year's crop.
@@lynnbetts4332 I just took care of a friends house and pets while they were gone for two weeks. They went to Oregon and Washington, they brought me a big box of huge beautiful pears and a box of the biggest apples I’ve ever seen, they are both delicious!!!! Living in northern Minnesota, we don’t have a lot of fruit trees ☹️ Would you be willing to share your moms recipe ? I hate that all these old recipes are dying off with the wonderful cooks that used to make them !
My grandmother’s beef vegetable soup was always so much better than my mom’s. For years we couldn’t figure out why and Grandma wasn’t giving up her secret. We finally learned she was using V8 juice as well as beef stock. It makes a huge difference!
Great finale! That vegetable juice looks amazing. Must feel nice to say “done for now”. I hope you enjoy some well deserved respite as you enjoy the fruits of your labor. God Bless!
Good morning. I still have lots of green tomatoes yet. Have done 6 bushel already. Spaghetti, BBQ, regular tomatoes, catsup done. Now time to do paste and sauce. Probably 4 bushel left on plants. God bless and stay safe.
Your videos are the best on you tube! Very Professional in content and fantastic editing. So one question...would love to see your canning stash....I bet u have a ton of it......
Sara loved the video, thank you. Love that you included the recipe too! I am not sure if you were thinking of that beautiful parsley you chopped up but I got confused with the ingredients in recipe you provided so I watched the video again. You put in a tablespoon of parsley as the last ingredient. Oops was supposed to be tablespoon of salt. Easy to do. Your hints are great... thank you.
Hi Sarah, I have been watching ur videos at night when I am free. I love ur guys channel. The biggest reason I like watching u guys is that I am also from MO. I have already learned so much from u guys! Im curious if u have ever thought about having guests on your homestead?
Sarah, I love the videos so keep them coming. As a side note, I noticed that, while you were discussing the constant acidity level in bottled lemon juice (at about 14:37 in this video), you only put 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in the jar on the left (from the viewer's perspective) nearest the camera. 😁
We use V8 for all KINDS of things. We use it to make stuffed peppers, cabbage, tomatoes, and onions, we call them stuffed things, and cook them all together. We make a soup out of it, kind of like tomato soup, but with more flavor. We mix it with ground meat, bread crumbs, eggs, and seasonings to make meatloaf. We use it to make red gravy for over chicken, beef, venison or pork cutlets that have been cooked with onions, peppers, tomatoes and mushrooms, and over meatloaf. Like I said, we use it for a LOT of things, even Just drinking.
I used to make my own V8...I used tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, garlic, celery and carrots....it was DEELISHUS! Good to drink...good in chili....good in vegetable soup....boy did you bring back a great memory!
Love our vegetable juice! My family and friends all scramble to fill their glasses at family events. I use 12 different vegetables and it all depends on what produced well that goes into it. I do follow pressure canning recommendations. I use a juicer. We use it not only to drink but in soups as well.
Sarah, you probs won't see this but I really appreciate your diligence to doing recipes for safety of new canners. It's so important that every learn the basics and understand the why of food safety before they start to alter recipes for themselves. You are an inspiration and we have our farm! I've been watching you guys for years anticipating this day and finally we get to put the many lessons I've learned from you all into practice.
For the beginning canner it is great she sticks to the approved recipe but once you are a experienced canner you KNOW what you can add or delete to a basic recipe to make it your very own safely. It's just basic common sense and understanding basic canning principles.
I love tomato/vegetable juice for cooking. My favorite recipe with it is stewed cabbage. You cook up some onions and cook down the cabbage a bit and then add tomato juice and cook it down. The cabbage gets soft and full of delicious tomato flavor.
Thank you! You do a wonderful job teaching safe/approved recipes. I worry about the new thrust of canning in our nation and the RUclips channels that wing it and tweak it. I can always count on you for wise instruction.
I'm overwhelmed. And even though I am not in a position to take advantage of this knowledge you're so kind to share, I appreciate that I'll be able to reference it when I can do this. Thank you! Thank you!
THANK YOU! Danny takes V8 in his lunch every day! This will be much better! I never noticed it in the book. I can most of the same things every year. You've got me thinking! Thank you Sarah! GOD bless
Several years ago I purchased the newer Spring load Jar lifter broom Ball - I have to say I love it , I always worried when transferring jars . I also got the progressive canning funnel, it has the head space measurements on the side , works great on all size jars .
Oh, you've inspired me to try canning tomato juice! One little tip I've learned is that you can hang your measuring cup over the side of the pot - as long as it's shaped like the one you have. That way you don't make a mess on your counter since it drips back into the pot.
My dad brought me his last 7 tomatoes, they were small but oooo so yummy. Maybe next year I can get out a few plants. I salivate watching u cut them up
Hi Sarah. I cant help my self, i was counting te spoons of lemon. My ocd 🤭 and there is one you only put one spoon of lemon in. ☺️ sorry cant help myself. You are amazing and sow is kevin. Love youre farm. Greatings from the netherlands. Please, dont be mad. 😖
I just processed 15 lbs of tomatoes last weekend. I prefer to use a sauce maker and remove the skins and seeds because I don't like the flavor they impart. I had two gallons of puree' which freeze-dried down to one half-gallon of pure tomnato powder.
Your V7 (tomato, pepper, carrot, celery, onion, parsley, lemon) juice looks absolutely awesome. Today we were at the Benton County (Arkansas) Fair for the Homesteading Expo for a canning class. Hubby and I were walking around the exhibits afterwards and I heard your voice. When I turned around, a booth had one of your YT videos playing to entice people to visit his booth. Both Hubby and I laughed because the whole drive there I kept saying "Wouldn't it be awesome if Sarah and Kevin were at the Fair?". I know I have said this before, but seriously, you two are so inspirational and I am so happy to have stumbled across your channel. Remember the old slogan... "I should've had a V8"? Much love, P
Hi Sarah. Funnily enough there seems to be a bit of a shortage here in the UK of Tomato juice. My friend loves it, so I'm going to take some tomatoes out of the freezer and follow your recipe xx
I always use V-8 instead of water for thinning tomato based items like chili and spaghetti sauce. Works great to cook rice in for a Spanish style rice. So many cooking uses!
My ultimate question for Sara and Kevin is, How and where do you store all your canned and freeze dried food. I’m looking for a better way to store mine. Home they answer this on their next Q & A video.
I love low sodium V8, use it a lot but haven’t made it yet. I greatly appreciate your safe canning and recommend your videos often. Thank you and God Bless
Ive only been watching for a couple weeks but I am addicted to you guys. I go back and watch the old videos as I have time to. Love your channel, you are such down to earth people.
I made "V12" juice this year. It is very tasty! Also, thank you Sarah for your ketchup recipe. I tried it, & the family loves it! I did make a small alteration to the recipe: I added a pinch of cloves & a tablespoon of blackstrap molasses. My tomatoes were not vine ripened and had experienced some very chilly nights before they were picked which resulted in them being very tart. The molasses added a depth and warmth of flavour that was missing.
Sarah, I have been preserving and preparing for over 50 years and thought I knew all about what to do to bring in the harvest. I must say, I have really enjoyed watching nd learning new ideas from you kids and your Homesteading Life. Thanks for sharing all your processes and I especially liked the Ketchup video. Not a fan of Heinz Ketchup (been a Hunts fan for years) but next season I will see if your recipe will convert me. At 75, who knows, maybe you can teach anOld Guy a new trick. God Bless your family and Homestead.
I used to drink a lot of V/8 but the celery taste finally got the best of me. This would be great as I can just leave the celery out and maybe add some hot peppers! woot, woot!
Looks delicious Sarah. I've always hated V-8 because it was way too salty. I knew once you started using your Vitamix blender you'd fall in love with it. I've never looked at another blender since.
If you want to adjust liquid products to your taste, you can make them as you want and put them in freezer ice cube bags, or in ice cube boxes and then transfer them into bags, so you don't have to worry about canning process.
One of the great things about a liquidiser that can deal with skins and seeds is that it will really increase the roughage and nutrient levels in the juice. I know you guys have pigs to feed your waste to, but if you
Growing up mom canned a lot. She made V8 juice but I don’t know that she really followed a recipe. She just did her own thing. But that is often how she rolled in the kitchen.
I love homemade V8, and I add a few jalapeños for a bit of heat. My hubby doesn’t like V8, but I love it. It’s not too hot so I do add it to soups, stews etc.
Sarah, I freaking love you and your videos! I have never really cared about canning, but after watching how you do it, it's become something I REALLY want to try! My husband and I are currently raising Coturnix quail and I want to try pickling the quail eggs. I may go and buy that canning book you shared with us in this video!
The next time you do a video featuring your freeze dryer, I’d like to see how some of your tomato juice would work in it. I assume that it would be a powder that could be stored long term and reconstituted for use in soups or chili. Just a thought for future videos.
Thank you Sarah, I am a huge lover of V8, however I don't like what "they" put in it, I will be trying your recipe soon. I am 6B Zone, so just about to be done with garden as well. Thank you, and thank you both for all your hard work in trying to give us all many, many instructional videos. We love you for it, and God Bless You Both.
Good morning, with coffee.
That tomato juice can be nothing but delicious 😋!! Thanks for sharing. I admire anyone who doesn't watch much TV. It's a total waste of precious time !!! God's blessings 🙏
That's it! I'm doing it...I'm gonna can some vegetable juice. Yum!
It amazes me how you do all that work in the kitchen and it's always clean.
My kitchen always looks like a bomb went off
I'm jealous of her counter space. I'm hoping to open up more when I remodel my kitchen in the next year.
Good morning from Lafayette Louisiana 🍅🍅🫑🫑🌶🧄🍁🍁🌅☕
I love this video of tomato juice and veggie juice. Sarah you are such a wonderful teacher and we are blessed to have you. Thank you, God bless and Much Love ~

Thank you Sarah for being such an inspiration. You use my favorite books :-) Blessings!

I used to drink a lot of V/8 but the celery taste finally got the best of me. This would be great as I can just leave the celery out and maybe add some hot peppers! woot, woot!
Good ☕️☕️ Morning Kevin & Sarah,another helpful,interesting video.Have a wonderful day👏😊👍
Looks delicious Sarah. I've always hated V-8 because it was way too salty. I knew once you started using your Vitamix blender you'd fall in love with it. I've never looked at another blender since.
Thank you!
Thanks Sarah for sharing your Tomato Juice canning with us. Looks so good. Stay safe and keep having fun. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻✋🏻✋🏻
Thank you for using safe/tested recipes I truly appreciate it.
It would be wonderful with all this canning and preserving to show us your pantry.
Right at 14:30 Sarah only put 1 tbsp of lemon juice in the jar. I hope the tomatoes are sufficiently acid enough on their own.
If you want to adjust liquid products to your taste, you can make them as you want and put them in freezer ice cube bags, or in ice cube boxes and then transfer them into bags, so you don't have to worry about canning process.
That looks just wonderful!
My mouth is just watering!
One of the great things about a liquidiser that can deal with skins and seeds is that it will really increase the roughage and nutrient levels in the juice. I know you guys have pigs to feed your waste to, but if you
It’s really good in vegetable beef soup too!!!
Growing up mom canned a lot. She made V8 juice but I don’t know that she really followed a recipe. She just did her own thing. But that is often how she rolled in the kitchen.
Beautiful juice. I miss my days of canning now that I am old. I can almost taste your juice as that is how I always made it.
I love homemade V8, and I add a few jalapeños for a bit of heat. My hubby doesn’t like V8, but I love it. It’s not too hot so I do add it to soups, stews etc.
Sarah, I freaking love you and your videos! I have never really cared about canning, but after watching how you do it, it's become something I REALLY want to try! My husband and I are currently raising Coturnix quail and I want to try pickling the quail eggs. I may go and buy that canning book you shared with us in this video!
The next time you do a video featuring your freeze dryer, I’d like to see how some of your tomato juice would work in it. I assume that it would be a powder that could be stored long term and reconstituted for use in soups or chili. Just a thought for future videos.
Something else to add to my canning list. Thank you. God bless.
I thoroughly enjoy being in the kitchen with you Sara! God bless you and your family.
Thank you Sarah, I am a huge lover of V8, however I don't like what "they" put in it, I will be trying your recipe soon. I am 6B Zone, so just about to be done with garden as well. Thank you, and thank you both for all your hard work in trying to give us all many, many instructional videos. We love you for it, and God Bless You Both.
I love V8!! I love drinking it and adding to recipes. I bought a corer like yours and love it for strawberries too.
