canning foods (for the gardening types )

so i hate canned peas but want a good way to save them. i have a freezer but want to can as much as i can since power can go out and i dont want to loose all due to it. yes a generator is planned after all half a side of longhorn lost would piss me off too.
i see vac packing stuff but that cooks the jars 10-15 min anyhow. i was thinking i could blanch cool and then use a vac to pull canning pressure without heating extra. keeping from having crappy mushy tastless food.

please tell me science has found a better way that is still safe.

 

Blanching is part of the canning process as it is. I think you have to pressure can to prevent botulism. I guess if you don't worry about botulism.....

I'd freeze.

 

I've never canned myself, but I've been around my mother and she's only used something like this over the years and a stove. Boiled for 10-15 minutes and then set on the counter to seal. My mother has never used anything to pressure seal them, unless that's what boiling the jars does? I distinctively remember each time a jar sealed we'd both get excited "another one sealed!"
Sorry I can't provide the info you request.

 

ok since we dont have a problem with other canned goods i guess i will plan to make room in the freezer for peas
