You said you had a lot of tomatos...I'm thinking that this recipe from
http://www.recipegoldmine.com/namebrand/namebrand96.html
would eat up quite a few...
Here's how it starts:
V-8 Vegetable Juice
Source: Sunset magazine - 1974
15 pounds fully ripe tomatoes, chopped
2 cups celery, chopped
3 large onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced/mashed
Try searching for homemade vegetable juice instead of V8.
