The canner went back to its home in the basement today. It's been out for a few weeks now while I've apparently been storing up for winter. My larter is full and I can't think of anything else that I "need" to preserve.
Luckily for me, Husband added shelves to a broom closet in the kitchen which until a month ago was filled with condensed soups, pasta packages, BBQ sauces, salad dressings and the lot. The difference is startling. Now, it looks like this:
I have jams and jellies, canned peaches and pears, apple pie filling, salsa, BBQ sauce, pickled carrots and pickled smoked/roasted red peppers. (The actual pickles I keep in the fridge in the basement). I sure hope those shelves Husband put up are beefy enough for the 70 some jars on that one shelf. If I hear a big crash in the middle of the night, I'll know where to look first.
I love the modular containers for dry goods. They're made by Rubbermaid and SO much cheaper than Tupperware. I have 5 different flours in there, not including all-purpose which gets it's own big tub on the floor of the closet (and one in the cupboard). I think Husband has kind of rubbed off on me. I doubt I'd ever have worried about the size and shape of jars or dry-goods containers until he came around. But I love it. It's so organized.
If only I could say the same about my bedroom closet.
