If it is possible for them to be canned it will probably be in a pressure canner. Refer to 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.

What is the significant of pH in foods?
Low pH foods tend to taste sour. High pH foods taste bitter. Low pH foods can be canned using either boiling water baths or pressure canning. Sufficient acidity (low pH) can prevent botulism spores from germinating. High pH foods require pressure canning (which reaches higher temperatures) in order to kill any botulism spores.
What is Low acid food?
This is a food that contains low acid. Some foods are high in acids. For example: foods like tomatoes or lemons. These are two different kinds of acids found in foods.
How do you use citric acid in canning?
Citric acid is used to preserve color in low acidic fruits, but it's main function is to raise the PH level (acidity) to make it impossible for botulism to occur in your finished product. It is absolutely essential that you add acid of some kind to low acid foods you are canning. Botulism is deadly. You may use citric acid (vitamin C), lemon juice, ascorbic acid or vinegar. Always use a recipe to get the proportions right. As to how it is used, it depends on what you are making. With jams, jellies and sauces you simply mix it in during or before the cooking process. If you are preserving whole fruits/tomatoes you add it directly to each jar. If you are preserving whole fruits in syrup, mix it into the syrup. Canning is a fun hobby, but is not to be done haphazardly with directions posted by who-knows-who. That can lead to a dangerous situation. The Ball Blue Book of Preserving is widely accepted as the best authority on home canning.

This reaction is possible also at low temperature.
How long are home canned pickled beets good for?
Pressure canning is the only safe method for home canning vegetables. Clostridium botulinum is the bacterium that causes botulism food poisoning in low-acid foods, such as vegetables. The bacterial spores are destroyed only when the vegetables are processed in a pressure canner at 240 degrees Fahrenheit (F) for the correct amount of time. Clostridium botulinum is the bacterium commonly found in vegetables and meats. It is harmless until it finds itself in a moist, low-acid, oxygen-free environment or a partial vacuum. Under these conditions, the bacterium can grow and produce toxins dangerous to people and animals. Do not process (low acid) vegetables using the boiling water bath because the botulinum bacteria can survive that method.
Can you use a water bath for canning zucchini?
While the traditional teaching is no, all canning with perhaps the canning of meat products can be done in a water bath canner. It is important that you maintain the highest possible temperature for fifteen to twenty minutes. It may be necessary to keep extra water boiling to keep the canner water level high enough though. Since zucchini is a low acid food the National Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP) does not recommend canning zucchini in either a hot water bath or a pressure bath. Not only is zucchini a low acid food but when prepared for canning (cooked) it compresses down quite a bit and becomes dense. There is not adequate approved research that documents the amount of time necessary to process zucchini in either the hot water bath or pressure bath method. Personally, I would freeze it. The NCHFP has a terrific website for all methods of canning and preserving (including freezing and drying) fruits, vegetables, and meats.
Is a canner needed for jams or will a pot due?
If you are only planning on making jams then a simple pot would do, however if you will be canning veggies or other low acid foods you may want to purchase a canner. A good canner to try is the Presto Pressure Cooker. It is user friendly and more convient while being affordable.
Would a low carb diet make the acid in your body raise?
no. low carbs have nothing to do with acid levels. You can definitely have a low carb high alkalinity diet but remember that you should keep a balance in your body between alkaline and acidic foods.
What foods help to reduce uric acid?
Fluids, especially water, are all helpful to flush your body of toxins and ailments. Cherries also help reduce uric acid. You should also try potassium rich foods, low fat dairy, and foods containing folic acid. Avoid alcohol and yeast.
