Pickling and canning for preservation is a very exacting science. Most canned foods are processed by a hot water bath method. Low acid foods need to be processed using a pressure bath method. Processing time vary depending on the vegetable, fruit, or meat being canned. Done incorrectly food can develop botullisms that can make you very sick or even kill. I recommend you buy a book (Ball Canning Guide is excellent and readily available). If you do not want to spend any money, look up the National Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP) website. It has information that has been scientifically developed, tested, and approved for the canning and preservation of meats, fruits, and vegetables. They have many recipes and detailed methods for preparing them properly. Research first and then buy the proper equipment required for successful canning. Buy your vegetables at a local farmer's market if possible. The less time the vegetables have been picked the better your canned goods will taste.
