Canned Peaches - Yucky Jar

We found a yucky jar of peaches when we were organizing the pantry.  It just looked off-color so I decided it would be best not to risk eating it.  When I went to dump it out I discovered the lid had a very poor seal.  No wonder these peaches spoiled! 

I put the yucky jar next to a normal jar so you can see how it was discolored in this photo.

 

I have regular canning mishaps.  The worst was a couple of summers ago when 2 jars of pears had their lids shift and gave the fruit flies a feast for MONTHS before I figured out the problem.  I thought those bugs would never leave.  Ugh!
