Floating jars


Recommended Posts

I had a strange thing happen tonight while canning apples. I had five quarts in canner & when I took the lid off two quarts were floating. I have never seen this before. Anyone else have this experience?

If you are using a light syrup or too loosely packed the jar, it can sometimes do that. It doesn't necessarily mean that it is bad. Other common causes are not boiling the apples long enough first (apples shrink because they contain a lot of air) or putting on bands too loosely (you'd see loss of liquid in that case.) For best results, I'd reprocess it.
