I’m in a rural area, it’s really not a thing! Especially not pressure canning with ball jars. People do make pickles and chutnies etc but those are preserved with vinegar and we use kilner jars with a rubber seal to store them. I’ve never once met anyone who has pressure canned vegetables.
Yeah and we obviously have those here although you could just make them in any old jar and keep them in the fridge. The thing that seems to be quite different in America to the UK is the whole pressure canning scene. We do have similar food but it’s all in tins, nobody really makes it themselves and I’m not even sure where you’d get hold of a pressure canner, you’d probably have to import it.
I suspect it’s more common in the more rural areas.
Or with the city people who manage to have an allotment.

When I think of canning vegetables, cucumber pickles are the first thing that comes to mind.
