What do you mean by “can vegetables?”
assistant
To preserve them by putting them in a jar.
user
Oh, I get it.  Well, you could cut off the bottoms of the jars so they wouldn’t be quite so tall, put food coloring in with the veggies, then add water and cover the jars.
assistant
I thought it was way different.
user
Yeah, canning used to be very hard work.  You have to use all the tools from a traditional kitchen and do everything by hand, and there are many steps to getting food safe for storage.  But modern times have made it easier.

You can use a pressure cooker to can vegetables, if you’d like to save money on jars.
