Canning potatos and cabbage?
I've never canned either, but it can be done. It requires a pressure canner which can be very expensive. Do a search on "pressure canning" to see the steps.



Both are a low acid food, which requires high temperatures. That's why you need a pressure canner. If you don't use one, you run the risk of getting botulism. Next year, plant tomatoes. They're high acid, and only need a water bath canning. You already have the equipment to do that.

Here's a site that sells pressure canners. At a minimum, you'll need a 21 quart.

You're on your own for canning cabbage. My searches only showed up relish or sauerkraut. Here's one for potatoes.
