I have one jar out of eleven jars of salsa that has separated for some reason, does anyone know why? I cooked it for about an hour and it didn’t have any foam or pectin on top when I jarred it.

    Recipe: 11lbs tomatoes, 2 white onions, 1 bunch cilantro, 4 jalapeños, 2 serranos, 1c lime juice, 8 cloves garlic, 2tbsp salt. Blend and combine everything, cook down for about an hour. Steam canned for 20 minutes due to altitude. All jars sealed except one, but this jar sealed and also separated.

    I think you left an air pocket when you sealed it.

    If this is the case, in the future, to prevent, stir well before sealing

    They will all separate sooner or later.
