Water bathing and pressure canning are two common ways to preserve foods by canning. These techniques use heat processing to preserve foods, and which technique you use depends on the acidity of the food. If you are canning a high acid food, you will use the water bath canning method. If you are canning a low acid food, you will use the pressure canning method. Acidity may be natural, as in most fruits, or added, as in pickled food. While low-acid canned foods contain too little acid to prevent the growth of C. botulinum, high-acid foods contain enough acid to block its growth or destroy them more rapidly when heated.
