re: Preventing floating fruit in jam

Preserving - Jams, Jellies
The Ball Blue Book of Preserving says that it's because the fruit is lighter than the syrup you canned them in.

Their solution is "Use firm, ripe fruit. Heat fruit before packing it. Use a light to medium syrup. Pack fruit as closely as possible without crushing it."
I hope this helps to solve the problem.
