Hello. We're kind of new at canning. We just did some apple butter and when I brought them out of the water bath, I could see that there were air bubbles in the apple butter. Is that okay? Thanks!

I have only been canning for a couple years, but I have not had any issues as a result of applesauce or apple butter with some bubbles. Interested to hear what the really experienced folks have to say.

Next time you can try putting a dab of butter in. I'm talking teeny tiny. It helps reduce frothing. I always have to do it with jam. I haven't tried making Apple butter, but I've made jam and had that happen. Didn't hurt the jam, just looked funny to me. And a pea sized amount of butter fixed it. Its what my canning book recommended.

yes there are bubbles sometimes. You can pull a jar out let it cool and there be no bubbles then turn the jar upside down and back up and you will have bubbles..

The bubbles won't hurt it at all. We've been canning apple butter and applesauce for years; sometimes you have bubbles, sometimes you don't. Either way is ok. Curt

I've been canning applesauce for the last couple years and little bubbles are fine.

I agree with the others comments. However, if you ever see the bubbles moving after they have been on the shelf for awhile, it is a sign of spoilage.
