How Do You Safely Can Collard Greens?
To safely can collard greens, start by washing them thoroughly and removing the tough stems. Blanch the leaves in boiling water for 3 minutes. Prepare a canning jar and add the collard greens, leaving an inch of headspace. Add water or vegetable broth and any desired seasonings. Make sure to release any air bubbles and wipe the rims of the jar before placing the lid and band. Process the jars in a pressure canner for the recommended time based on your location’s elevation and jar size. Allow the jars to cool before storing them in a cool and dry place.
