Just to add a little easier way to this method, I always cut/ shred my greens before I cook them. I have never canned them, I am just saying I do it before I cook them to eat, so it may be easier before canning. Great video brother.

@TheStevieoo You need to read a book about canning or the instructions with your canner. Yes, you need a pressure cooker to can alkaline foods SAFELY. Only acid foods like tomatoes and fruits can be canned in a simple water bath. You can can vegetables and meat in a water bath BUT NOT PROPERLY. They will seal but they are dangerous to eat. Botulism is a deadly disease. You don't need to worry about it in the least, as long as you know what you are doing and do it right.

The amount of pressure depends on your altitude above sea level. As you go higher, more pressure is required. Need to add that to future videos. Otherwise great job explaining the process.(If canning for more than 10 minutes, sterilizing is not required, since the canning itself does that, but hot jars do not break as often).

@iamdoroda You are right. That is important for people who live at higher altitudes. It is hard to cover every detail in a 10 minute video. That's why I emphasized reading the canner instruction manual and using a good recipe book. My video is an demonstration of the canning process, not a step-by-step instruction manual. Thanks for your comments.

Do you have to use those lids or can it be any lid??

[thenewsurvivalist]

@aquaticpetzsub0 You have to use lids made for this purpose because it is the lid that makes the seal and the seal that keeps the food sterilized.
