Default Preserving peas

I want to preserve a large amount of peas in glass jam jars.


Peas are low acid, and must be pressure canned for safety, so the jars need
to be a type that will survive this and also fit whatever canning lids are
available.
In my own opinion, canned peas aren't fit to eat, though people who grew up
with them don't agree.
Is freezing an option?
