Food-jarred vs home made- HELP

So I recently posted about my 6 1/2 month old feeding issues. I feed her home made puree food and the rest of the night she throws up her bottles.
Tonight i listened to some advice of fellow lifamily moms (ty!) and spaced it out more after her last bottle but before her next. BUT i also bought jarred baby food and NO THROW UP!

Now do i attribute that to the spaced out time or the jarred food?
Is it possible that jarred food was easier for her to digest than the homemade food? Anyone know why if so? Its the same ingredients as what i make carrots and water??

Im so confused!

I think that the only way to know for sure whether the lack of throwing up is bc of the space between feedings or using the jar food rather than home made is by isolating the variable. Tomorrow try to use home made and space the feedings if DC still throws up, the next day try the jar without the spacing.
Its possible that although the ingredients are the same in homemade vs. jar, the jarred food has a thinner consistency so maybe DC digests it better?

Curious... Did you peal the carrots when you made the food? I would never have thought to peal the carrots before making them prior to reading that babies can not easily digest the skins.

In addition to peeling them, did you use the same water they were boiled in to make them thin? I remember reading you're not supposed to use the same water from carrots because of nitrates
