O.k. to can pesto using the typical boiling water bath process, you need to alter the recipe to bring the pH below 4.6. The commercially canned pestos do not seem to have a pH this low (although I haven't checked with a meter), so what is the process used by commercial canners? Do they use a pressure vessel? Could one use a pressure cooker?

Mostly just curious...
