We canned this last year using the Ball recipe. The jar is still sealed, but several of them have these white spots, and it looks like some of the water separated out.

Do you remember what your headspace was when you made this? It looks excessive from your picture. It should be 1/2 inch. If there is too much headspace, the air may not have been driven out of the jar during the processing time, which could result in a weak seal (and contents discolouring at the top). Did you make any changes from the Ball recipe?
