This is oh so good-I added 1 heaping tsp of celery salt and 5 tsp. canning salt, 1/2 head of cabbage aand 6 carrots and left out the lemon juice. It is really tasty and a great way to use up all those extra veggies in the garden. Next year will try it with beets, parsley and some spinach added.

I'm a big V-8 fan, so no use paying for it at the store when I can make it. It's best to use high juice producing tomatoes, such as "Big Boy"....Roma's work, but provide less juice. I threw in some carrots as well to get rid of my extras from the garden. It was a bit sweet for me, so I added 2 tbsp LB Jamison's chicken flavored soup base. I put the mixture through my juicer a few times instead of using my strainer to save on time. Thanks DiB's for a wonderful recipe. I will use this again and again. Krsi Sue
