Use home canned toms for some fresh V8?

Do you think I can use a jar of my preserved tomatoes to make a batch of V8 juice? Has anyone done this?  I can't find any topics online that use home canned tomatoes.  Seems all the recipes use fresh tomatoes, which I did in the summer and it was so tasty.  I'd like to duplicate the results.

The tomatoes have been quasi-cooked first then boiled in the water bath canner.  Then, the recipe calls for tomatoes to be cooked with onion and celery.  So there's a third stage of cooking.  After all this cooking I have to wonder if there is any nutrition left in the tomatoes!
