Tried canning for the first time ever today. Followed all steps but this happened :(. Got a bit of a spray out as well when I removed it. Is this possibly from the lid not being tight enough? I was seeing bubbles coming out during the water bath and read that was a good thing, but I guess too much left?

    Someone else posted very recently about separation due to an enzyme. Maybe try search for enzyme separation?

    Short version is it’s safe if you followed a safe recipe and followed instructions. The solution is near boiling the tomatoes briefly.

    *Edit* Or I guess ignore me because I didn’t realize that the lid had failed.
