Hi all! I’m brand new to canning, and this is the first thing I’ve ever water bath canned. It’s strawberry rhubarb jam I made two days ago (dec 15th). All the jars are nicely sealed, but I’m a little worried about the appearance of the jam, as it looks very bubbly or airy maybe? I opened the one jar to start enjoying now, but wondering if the other three jars I have look like they’ll be shelf stable, or should I freeze them?
Thanks all!

What recipe did you use?

Your recipe is fine; strawberries have a *lot* of air and tend to make jam “bubbly”
