Used the Ball strawberry lemonade concentrate recipe for the first time (followed exactly no modifications). It made a little over 3 16oz jars vs the suggested 7. Headspace seems to have doubled since the jars were filled? This is my first time canning (water bath) something besides jam. Thanks for your input! https://imgur.com/a/VqAc9s8

Did you skim foam before filling jars? Did you debubble before processing? 7 pints to 3 is a huge difference, are you sure you followed the recipe correctly?
Did you do 6 cups of strawberries or 6 cups of puree? This is something I don’t like about a lot of canning recipes. They need to be a little more specific. It calls for 6 cups of hulled strawberries then says to puree them but depending on how to measure the strawberries can greatly change the volume of the puree, I really wish it would give the volume of puréed strawberries.
