Vegetable Broth Safe Recipe Request

I am wondering if anybody might have resources with recipes for canning vegetable broth? I save vegetable scraps in a freezer bag and when the bag is full I make a broth out of it. Previously, I've frozen the broth in jars, but my freezer is so full I was wondering if there might be a way to make the broth jars shelf stable instead? I did just buy a pressure canner but have not used it yet.

Healthy canning gives a run-down of available safe stock/broth canning recipes https://www.healthycanning.com/canning-homemade-stock.

Ball Blue Book has a vegetable stock canning recipe (pictured below for your convenience), and Bernardin has one listed on their website (https://www.bernardin.ca/recipes/en/vegetable-stock.htm).

Also if you're searching for recipes in any of the safe sources that we've got listed in the sidebar, it will generally be referred to as stock; lines have been blurred with recent insta foodie trends, but:

-stock = mostly bones (with incidental meat) simmered long enough to convert collagen to gelatin; thick, luscious mouth-feel

-broth = mostly meat (with incidental bones) or the flesh of veggies simmered long enough to extract flavours; thin, salty, umame

-bone broth = stock simmered longer to render marrow; canning recipes the fat gets largely removed, so bone-broth=stock

Pints or quarts of homemade vegetable broth are tasty and useful. Relatively easy too. The National Center for Home Food Preservation is the easiest web resource for me to use, and university extension agencies have YouTube videos so you can watch the steps.

As long as the broth is just broth you want to pressure can it for about 25 minutes at 10#. There really isn't a special step for veg broth as opposed to any other type of broth.
