I typically always have the short fill go in the fridge and eaten right away.
I went for it and tossed the low one in the bath and it sealed just fine.
We good to pantry?

put it in the fridge. it’s unlikely the seal will hold.

The reason for set amounts of head space is the air in the jar needs to be pushed out for the seal to be safe. The underfilled jar will seal, but WILL NOT be safe because it wasn’t able to push all the air out, so it’s hanging out there with bacteria air stuck inside.

Fill them all appropriately, and then process. If you lose a bit of headspace after processing it’s ok. Use a pint jar instead of a quart as needed. It’s why I have random selections of pint, half pint and even quarter pints of lots of stuff.
