So I canned a bunch of my sweet potatoes, BUT when I was done I noticed that the water was really orange and that half the jars were only half full of syrup.
Are they still ok? And is this normal? Does anyone know what I did wrong?
I'm leaning toward not leaving enough headspace... it was maybe a LITTLE high.. the measuring stick thingy was sweeping across the top of the syrup & potatoes.
I tried SO hard to follow all the instructions.. ball canning guide, my canner's instructions, back & forth... :/
