Great reminder about not having to grow everything you preserve. I tend to think the same and realized this year that it was ok to supplement with things i didn't grow enough of or any of. I found a 25 lb bag of beets at a local bulk store and canned enough pickled beets for the year. Thanks for sharing!
Not out of the total realm of possibility but we live in an incredibly low likelihood area for earthquakes and a lot of other extreme weather. Unless you count the ice and snow 😂 our proximity to the Great Lakes keeps even things like tornadoes at least 10 miles away almost exclusively.
Just looked through all your videos. Can I say, that I love that you have videos using your canned foods. That is one of the things lacking from so many canning videos. New subscriber here and thanks for taking the time to share ❤️
You did really good! I have a dishwasher that is only used for sterilizing my jars, and I work on the principle that when the dishwasher is full, its time to can something else. It typically holds around 40 quart jars, and every time I use a jar I wash it, and put it in the dishwasher🥰
Oh I have shelving envy! 🤩 I’m interested in the tomato sauce recipe, I’ll have to go watch it! I love that you use the older jars! So sweet! ☺️ I just display things in mine. Thanks for sharing! Excited to find you! 💕
I have a big box of bad Kerr jars - misshapen, dented, air bubbles, etc. And, I have had several blow. I keep them to show others of quality issues and what to look for. I have not had a Ball jar blow or have these types of defects. I also have hundreds of those antique jars and love them. Mama's Jars are my absolute favorite and remind me of my lovely mother-in-law who gave them to me.
Hello, I'm new to the whole canning thing. Thanks so much for sharing what you do and why. You helped me pick up some tips so as I start my process and get things put together it will defiantly help to lower the learning curve., as well as to start thinking about fall and what I'd like to have. 🤩
You do the best you can, with what you can...........no pun intended. Sometimes we get good sales, sometimes we can store bought items. Keep it up, you are doing great.
Very nice pantry and great organizing and canning practices. I have these shelves that are black and not that I use(d) them for canning since I purchased them but the way I lined the shelves was cheaply with black poster board from the Dollar store. I believe at the time I actually paid .69 cents US per board and was able to cover each shelf with 2 boards with some left over pieces that could have been used to line the shelves however were donated to a church school to be used by the children for crafts and scrapbooking projects. So $1.38 to cover a shelf. Also everytime I had someone send me something in a Medium flat rate postal box I would keep the box, and tape them open in a way that they made for great storage of coffee mugs which I at one time had an abundance of because I was buying them from thrift stores and reselling them for quite the profit I might add. Still have these shelves and though still not canning I use them for my plants and love that I can adjust them or add 2 together or other shelves from other units and maximize the storage in one shelf to take up less of a footprint. I am a huge fan of any type of canning jars. I have Ball, Kerr, and Atlas with some that are blue glass with the most unusual type of glass lids and some that have these unusual and quite old looking metal lids and I am told they are from 1908. I even have a large framed picture on my wall of some beautiful dried flowers and herbs in a Ball jar that hangs in my dining room and a Ball canning jar with dried flowers inside of it with a lamp light thing on the top that I believe someone themselves handmade into a lamp. I love anything to do with canning jars. I would like to can my own foods, I do ferments but they don't last long as I mainly only eat my veggies fermented for digestion purposes. You made me hungry so I subbed and rang the bell. 🥫♥
Probably would be a good idea. We don't live in an area that gets earthquakes, not even minor, otherwise I would. I realize that isn't the only thing that can cause things to fall, however, so I need to reevaluate this!
I actually have 4 of these shelves and for most uses I don't need all 6 to fit the things I'm storing so I was able to put a lot more on my canning unit.
Just remember mice are attracted to cardboard. I'd suggest a plastic tote with lid anywhere there is any cardboard, including the ones used to carry jars. They will find it and move in eventually.
I got the FDA NSF indoor/outdoor shelves at Home Depot. We needed those for a moist cellar and work great. I think most places have them like Walmart, Lowe's, Sam's, etc., if you don't need the NSF type.

That is a great amount of beets! So glad to hear others in the same boat with growing vs buying 🧡
I would suggest some bungee cords across the front of the shelves just in case of earthquakes.

Wonderful pantry tour. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
love my Atlas jars, I found a bunch in the 1880 farm house we bought...
Wow!
They have good plastic shelf liner at Costco and Walmart. I have lot of wire shelving because I like them on wheels.
I think the Costco plastic shelf liner is the BEST! I have used it on our farm, in our cabinets, in rentals, etc. It is tough and worth every penny.

Wow I love this! We use our dishwasher regularly so it wouldn't work for us, but what a great way to store them and have a routine to fill them.

That’s interesting about the bad jars!!

Your pear, apple, cranberry sauce sounds delicious. First time watching. Enjoyed your video!
It’s so good! Thanks for watching 🧡
You do the best you can, with what you can...........no pun intended. Sometimes we get good sales, sometimes we can store bought items. Keep it up, you are doing great.
I'd want to have 1 year of rice and 1 year of beans for each person. (1 or 5 gallon mylar bags). Then expand to 2 years.
Just found your channel and subscribed! Beautiful and well organized pantry. I'm looking forward to viewing your videos😎
Thank you for being here 🧡

Wow thanks for sharing all of this! The picture sounds beautiful!
What a great pantry - thank you for sharing.
Well done! Thank you for sharing it with us!
New to your channel. I really enjoyed your videos. It makes me want to do better in canning next summer. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for being here!
Please put something so jars won't fall. So much work. Wouldn't want to lose any of it.
Looks beautiful!!!
Probably would be a good idea. We don't live in an area that gets earthquakes, not even minor, otherwise I would. I realize that isn't the only thing that can cause things to fall, however, so I need to reevaluate this!
Good for you! Hard work paid off!
Nice! Very organized! Some of mine is a mess and some are organized. Needs more work to do for winter project. 😊❤️🙏
Yes! Great indoor winter project!
You are amazing!
Slow and steady towards the goal 🧡
I think you have done a fantastic job!
Thank you for sharing..
So shiny and yummy looking!
I loved. Kisses from Azeitão, Portugal 😍😍 🇵🇹🇵🇹
I would not make concentrate because there may be a water shortage.
Oh good thing to consider
i cut cereal boxes open to put on my shelves to help keep jars upright
That is a great idea. I love how resourceful it is.
where do you get extra shelves? All I can find are 5-shelf units.
I actually have 4 of these shelves and for most uses I don't need all 6 to fit the things I'm storing so I was able to put a lot more on my canning unit.

That's a happy place right here! Subscribing :)
Thank you for being here!
Inspiring! 💕
Where did u get the shelves
We got these off of Amazon I added a link in the description for the exact ones and here they are: amzn.to/3s2Cs0P
Do you have a link to buy the shelves? Thank you.
I have a link in the description for the ones I have. They do come in other sizes though. Here is the link as well: amzn.to/3s2Cs0P
They sell them at Costco also

@@ChrisCalmtheCrazy mine are also FDA NSF, Costco gets a few and they sell out fast
💜💜💜💜💜
FDA reccommends not stacking jars, beautiful pantry
Oh yes, the little ones. Good reminder. I’ll spread them out in another tray. Thanks!
Brown rice doesn't last as long
We try to make sure we get through grains before the oils would go rancid.
