What you need: Pressure canner, large pan for boiling water, Clean jars, rims, new lids, Colander (strainer), Butter knife, and a Small pan for heating lids.

First, Heat a large pan of water on the stove, bringing it to a boil and then keeping it hot. Sort peas and pitch any that are too old (the pea will be splitting). Then fill your sink with water and wash the peas. Dip the peas out of the water and put them in a colander to drain.

In clean jars (this article will deal with pints), pour peas into the jars. Then, take the boiling water from the pan and carefully fill the jars to within 1 inch of the rim. Run a butter knife around the inside of the jar to get out air bubbles that may be trapped in the peas.

Wipe the rim of the canning jar with a paper towel. Place a heated lid and ring on the jar and put it in the canner. Fill the canner with the appropriate amount of water according to YOUR pressure canner's instructions. Make sure you use cold water. This is so that the peas will cook while the water is heating in the canner. And run the canner for the amount of time it states.

Why are pea's canned or frozen?

Peas, like other vegetables, are canned or frozen at the peak of their freshness to preserve them. Canned peas are heated/cooked during processing and so are a darker drab green and a softer texture as opposed to frozen peas which are blanched to a bright green and close to raw. Frozen peas can be added to a dish at the last minutes of cooking/heating to preserve that color and texture.
