Not really.
I know how to "can" vegetables.I had to learn because that was what we ate.
A back to nature dilettante liberal couple I once knew "canned" an acre of various vegetables they had worked hard on all year,n their spare time, from their own garden.
They proudly showed me their pantry of two serving portions in color coordinated, artistically disobeyed quart jars.





They were dismayed when I told them they would get violently sick, and possibly die, if they ate any of it.
You see, they didn't fill any of the jars to seal properly...botulism laboratory.
I doubt they burned the waste, as I advised. They probably just dumped the jars upstream of their or their neighbors well.
I try to avoid living near high income, gated communities.
Not a safe place to be near in a power outage.

Please tell me, how do you "artistically disobey" a quart jar?

That is a clever phrase, but for me, undecipherable.
