Water bath canning is only used for high-acid foods. Things like beans, meats, etc... require pressure canning.

I suggest that you start off by researching the purpose and science behind pasteurization and canning.

“pasteurization”

Just had a talk with Louie Pasteur and know holding a substance, such as milk, at a certain temperature for a certain period of time eliminates bacteria. It follows that holding a food product in a jar at a certain temperature for a certain amount of time, kills bacteria.
