i've never had any parsnips to deal with before. i would guess they could be treated like carrots, but i've not ever done carrots either.
looks like the normal, wash, peel, chunk, blanch, freeze...
WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

Canning is easy, just need a longer time in pressure canner because of the density.
How do you prepare them to eat? Slices? Mashed? That might guide you to an option

I love them sliced and lightly stir fried in the skillet

15 pints of peaches yesterday, the rest went into the dehydrator. I've canned so much this year that I need to build more shelves in the basement to put the stuff on! Has anyone else found themselves canning or preserving a lot more than normal? I can't explain it but I just have this feeling that I need to do more and more! The older I get, the less I want to waste too. I look out at my garden and want to go pick more but I'm running out of jars and space

That was last year's efforts for us. Zero to overstocked by October. Being more selective this summer

I think, with age, we do become more frugal, more waste not and prepare more. This economy challenges us, too.
