I made strawberry jam, but after a few days there's this deposit. Is it something natural that happens, or is it a bad batch and I have to throw it away? (feddit.it)

Sometimes when jelly or jams go bad there is a white mold that can grow pretty quickly if the seal on the jar was imperfect, jars used were not sterilized, or if there was too little sugar used in process. If that is in fact mold, you need to toss it.

It's strange because mold usually appears on top, where there's air. But anyway I wouldn't eat it.
