Last night I canned 4 quarts of pea soup. It had ham in it so I used the pressure canner. Everything has seemed to go well. However, after the canner was down to room pressure I pulled the jars out of the water and placed them on the counter. They have an excellent seal, nice and tight but the contents of the jars was boiling. Lots of motion! The solids of the soup had seemed to be compressed. I left the jars alone and checked them this morning. The solids have re-expanded to make the contents of the jar look normal. The boiling has stopped and the jars still have a great seal.
Has anyone encountered this? Is this just normal and I simply haven't seen it yet?
