Do you have and know how to use a pressure canner ?

---

The answer to that is yes. It's not hard to use and a quick u-tube search should give you all you need to know unless you have the instructions that come with the pressure canners.

Most important tool for canning fresh vegetables that are not in a brine based liquid.

I do a good bit of canning and use it for canning fresh vegetables with just lightly salted water in the jar. My 22 qt. pressure canner gets a workout for part of the year.

Lots of stuff is also pickled or cooked down and put in quart freezer bags and frozen for later use.
