Pumpkins take longer than any vegetable i'm aware of because they are alkaline. 90 minutes - 10 pounds pressure is the recommendation. Pumpkins are one of the worst offenders for botulism.

I'll bite - here's mine: tomatoes.
Blanch whole tomatoes and remove skin. In very large pan or dutch oven cook and stir tomatoes. They will break apart, but you don't want complete mush. When hot all the way through ladle into hot prepared pint jars, top with hot lid and ring. Let cool naturally. Jars will seal as they cool. That is it and I don't think I have ever lost any. Since I am at work I cant remember if put any salt in or not. They are good for soups and stews.
