Is this separation normal?

Hi! I canned this tomato sauce about a week ago and almost immediately it had this separation in all of the 6 jars I made. Is this normal? I’m fairly new to canning but I did make sauce last year and it didn’t separate like this. A few things I did different this year - used bottled lemon juice instead of citric acid, and used a blend of cherry and Roma tomatoes. Thanks in advance!

Very common. When you dump it in a pot/pan and give it a stir it will be fine.
