LC carmalization

I seem to be having a problem with my LC. I have tried three different methods.
Honey- 2tbs per 250ml
Karo- 2tbs per 250ml
Turbinado- 5 grams per 250ml
All three of these carmalized in the PC. They look quite brown, probably the color of maple syrup. Any idea if they will still work? I'd like to know before I knock em up. I can't be the only person who has encountered this.
A little help would be appreciated.

Toss them its easy and cheep to make a new one. 1 gram per 100ml is the norm I'm not sure how many table spoons that is. Do you keep your L.C. Jar off the bottom of the pot?

I read agar's method on the Turbinado sugar. He had amazing success with a 5 gram packet in 240ml.
I do keep the jars off the bottom with a small stainless steel tray propped up with extra jar bands. It's a couple inches from the bottom. I fill the PC to the level of the tray.
I'm running a few more through, just Turbinado, I'm going to try just 10psi for 30 min. Should be done any minute now. I'll update when they cool down. Think I'll get any contams that way? I'm using spring water and freshly opened jars, so they should be fairly clean.

After 30 min in the pc you probly could of used spit and you would be good lol.
Ya when I said a gram per 100ml I ment the honey I havent seen agars tek yet on that sugar.
Maybe stick a paper towle between the jar and the metal stand if it keeps buring.

LMAO! Someone should try using spit for an LC. Just for humor's sake. Also, I'm not sure how to measure a gram of honey without a scale. I read in a few LC teks that 1tbs per 100ml is plenty
Anyways, I'm impatient so I removed the jars. They look much better than my last 3. They look almost the same as when they went in. I also took out the polyfill and just used straight Tyvek for gas exchange. I will be using a coffee filter for a dust cover.
I dumped out the icky sticky mess that I made before. I think I'm going to steam sterilize the jars and make some more LC.
BTW, a coffee maker works really well for making the Turbinado/Spring water mix.
This is my end result...

How long did you PC that for? And how many PSI? I think that may have been my problem. Too high of temp for too long carmalized the honey and karo.
10 psi for 30 min left me with a pretty clear jar. The jars I did before were at 15psi for 60min.
