The way I make jam/jelly, this is jelly, is to turn it upside down for 5 minutes and that helps it make a good seal. This is what happens when the 5 minutes passes and you forget to turn it back right side up. My kids think it is the coolest thing ever! I personally am embarrassed.
I'm personally impressed! See, I don't MAKE jam/jelly so you are already WAY ahead of me there, and there must be some special talent to leave a goodly portion of the BOTTOM of the jar empty! Consider it talent, not an oopsie!
OK. This gives a whole new concept to the term "bottoms up". As long as it doesn't affect the taste you might have a unique product here that might have market value. Especially if you could figure how to get a whole, grape, plumb or other fruit that you are canning to stay put in the open area!

So, what happened? I've never seen anything like this...looks like the bottom of the jar is empty. What causes this? I assume this is jelly or jam?

Elaine, If you think your jam has gone "bad", just send it over to our household...we'll throw it in the human garbage disposal :-)
