I recently started canning and the other day I tried the pickled hot peppers and dilly beans found in the Ball Blue Book. I followed the recipes and after canning noticed that some of the hot peppers were not completely covered by the liquid and the beans had floated and were also not completely covered. My question is whether or not these are still safe to eat. I assume the pepers will be ok but should i discard the top ones that are partially uncovered. Thanks for the help.
