| I mention in another post (size of jar) that i was going to make canned peaches. I made 4 pint lids sealed but peaches are floating on top and there is empty liquid on bottom meaning no peaches are on bottom of jar. I thought i had packed enough n even kinda push down alittle. Will these still be ok? Also there bubbles n again i used a skewer to help release any, like i said this is my first time doing this.Any advice? Thanks again for ur help. Terry |

| Raw pack or hot pack? Raw pack will float, don't worry about it. Did you dice, or just halve? I don't know if bubbles could be a problem - maybe a big bubble in the pit area of the peach facing down might, but since these are high-acid I really don't think that's even a problem. |

| Normal. Peaches just like to float. They sink over time. Agree that hot pack float less but either way they are safe. Dave |

| Fresh peaches, not cooked really like to float. I had strawberries that way, I marked the jars with the title of "strawberries on top", I would say your jars are 'peaches on top', sort of mix between jam and jelly. |
