Any ideas?
The jars are popping now so I know I got that part right at least

I just made some with the Sure-Jell Fruit Pectin for Lower Sugar
Recipes, and it came out perfectly. Great flavor and aroma, beautiful
color, not too sweet (despite using about 1/3 less sugar, it's
surprisingly sweet). I let it sit for a couple of minutes, stirred, and
canned/BWB'ed. Not only the best jam I've made, but probably the best
I've had.
Ever since I've started waiting about five minutes or so (maybe a little
less) before jarring, stirring just before ladling the jam into the
jars, my floating-fruit issue has quite improved. Not usually as
perfectly as the strawberry jam I just made, but definitely better.
