Losing water in the boiling waterbath is normal. The little bubbles you see after turning the jar upside down are normal, too. No alarm on botulism (bc if you followed the recipe the environment inside the jar is too acidic for spores to activate), but when you open the jar, if they smell off it just means you didn't kill all the molds/bacteria/yeasts that cause spoilage (different from botulism). Either way you won't die! Good job on putting up the awesome CSA deal! You are fine so long as they sealed properly. Losing water in the boiling waterbath is normal.
