Canning eggplant is a good idea. Although thoughts to address on how to prevent discoloration and its tendency to soak up too much oil. I found sauting slices with a little oil and seasoning is good. After it sits for a day in the refridgerator it becomes soagy. Test a batch and examine its results to create a game plan.

Yes just roast the egg plant in the oven brushing with little oil and after the egg plant is roasted smash it. Then on a kadai add oil and your choice of spices like garlic , green chilli , salt and garnish with coriander leaves.

I was always told that eggplants couldn't be canned because they just turned to mush after about a month or so. The best way I've ever been able to keep them is by freezing. Hope that helps some.
