ball spiced peaches recipe canned 8/12/25, strong lid and stored safely in dark cool place without ring on and nothing on top.

I’ve made them before and loved the flavor profile. This jar was one of 3 that siphoned. I’ve seen discolored peaches before but never “dry” like this on top, are they safe, has anyone seen this before? The siphoned part on the lid was under the seal. Safe seal, no popping. Stored without ring in cool dark area, nothing placed on top canned approx 4 months ago. Thanks everyone!

    Yep, if you followed the Ball recipe they are fine, though they might be unsightly.

    if they siphoned that means they probably had a little less liquid in them which means the product was exposed to the dry air inside the jar. if everything else was processed correctly they are safe, but is some quality loss

    Yep.. I just spoon em out and pitch em. They are fine I just don’t want to eat them looking like that.
