2. Peel and cube.
3. Barely cover with water; bring to a boil.
4. Pack hot; add salt (1/2 tsp for each quart or 1/4 tsp for each pint).
5. Cover pumpkin or winter squash with boiling water, leaving 1/2-inch headspace.
6. Adjust lids; process.
7. Pressure canner, minutes at 10 lbs (pints): 55 minutes.
