Hey everyone! I used the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving recipe for canned pumpkin (pictures of the recipe and directions) and had some serious siphoning on 2 jars. They still sealed, but the liquid level is now below the pumkin in the jar. I've never had siphoning this bad, so I'm worried about shelf stability. Should I just use these up or will they be okay?

As long as the liquid is at least halfway up the jar it’s fine for safety! The pumpkin above the waterline will discolor but that’s cosmetic, not a safety issue. I would use that jar up first though.
