I made some marinara sauce, but have never had this happen before when canning. Has this happened to anyone else? Did I not cook it down enough and that’s why water is in the bottom? I’ll be so sad if I have to dump it. I guess I could use it instead of dumping, but man. Any tips would be appreciated, especially for future canning. (Recipe was from Ball)

I’ve had that happen with whole tomatoes never with sauce.
Yes, normal and fine as long as you used a safe recipe.
Made tomato sauce a while back, just plain not marinara, and it looked just like what you have. Should be fine, wait a day or two after processing and lightly shake them and it should recombine.
