Hi Maridae,
Hmmm, I’m not sure. You’re referring to the honey-lavender syrup in the peaches post? Have you filled the jars up too high? You should make sure to leave about a 1 to 1.5 centimeter head-space (1/4-1/2 an inch). Or maybe when you poured the liquid in, it spilled? A good way of avoiding spills is to use a special canning funnel sized to the neck of the jars.

How can I keep Honey & syrup from coming thru the jars? I wash them off good & the next time that I pick it up the jar is sticky & under the bottom will be a ring of honey or syrup. What causes this?

Strawberry mint jam sounds fabulous at the moment. I could use that little burst of summer during these cold months…
