Floating jar contents

it's gonna happen no matter what. I'm used to it--my mother and grandmother canned, so it looks "normal" to me, but I know what you mean.

At least, if there is something you can do about it, I've never heard of it.

I just canned 9 jars of Bread & Butter pickles and the liquid contents look a little cloudy. They were cold packed. Would that have anything to do with the problem (if it's a problem)?

Pickle juice can be cloudy from the pickling spices, not using pure salt/pickling canning salt, and sometimes "hard" water can cause problems too.

There may be other reasons that I don't know about. I tried doing a quick keyword search on the subject, no luck, but that just means I probably wasn't using the right keywords.

As long as it tastes like it should, I think it's fine.
