Recipe is in the pictures, Ajvar recipe from the 38th edition Ball Blue Book pg. 100. The recipe appears to have separated while processing and it filled with bubbles. It was not that bubbly when it went into the jars. What happened?

This is not a safe nor tested recipe. First off, all vegetables need to be pressure canned (except tomatoes) as they are low acid foods. Second, eggplant or any combo of eggplant and x veggies are not safe to can due to density issues. There are safe recipes for pickling eggplant.

So this recipe reads weird. When do you add the vinegar in the process? You might have separation due to density differences like tomatoes sometimes get after canning.
It also looks like you had some siphoning. What was the recommended headspace?

Weird. I wonder if there was still too much air in the vegetables from not being cooked long enough. I’m surprised the recipe didn’t have you put the mixture into a pot on the stove after pureeing.
