Floating peches
Why do my peaches insist on rising to the top of the jar? right up out of the liquid. Everything I have read says that it is air, or the peaches are lighter than the syrup. I am using mostly natural juices and water though and run the thing around the side to get the air out. Hot packing worked better than cold packing, but they are still floating!

Re: Floating peches
My book says hot packing is suppose to prevent it. I'm doing mine Thurs and I'll let you know how it goes...

Re: Floating peches
I thought it was normal? If my peaches don't float the seal usually didn't take. Aside from the top peach being a little discoloured, everything is fine.

Re: Floating peches
I thought of something...do you pack down your peaches before adding the syrup? I gently pack the peaches so even though the peaches "float" it is not as noticeable.

Re: Floating peches
I thought I did with the first ones, the second ones seemed to pack better though. They were the ones that were hot packed.
Thanks for the advice, this is my first year canning, and the recipe shows these pretty perfect peaches floating nicely. Not like mine,lol! They do taste good though!
