After 24 hours, I took the rings off, wiped off any tomato that siphoned, and gently shook them to get the tomato pulp back into the liquid. They ended up settling well!

This happens when you slice tomatoes but don’t cook them immediately. This is why the Ball tomato sauce recipe has you start by just cutting up a couple of tomatoes, bringing them to a simmer, then slowly cutting and adding more a bit at a time instead of cutting them all up at once.
The reason is that cutting the tomatoes releases an enzyme that destroys the pectin that holds the sauce together. Heat destroys that enzyme, so you want to heat the tomatoes ASAP after cutting them. If you just cut up a whole batch of tomatoes and put them on the stove, your photo is what you end up with.
