Pantry status in November 2025
– on top: jars that are “extra” for giveaway, mostly raspberry jam.
– top row: honey (bought), apple cider vinegar (made from scraps), nettle tincture, raspberry vinegar, extra jars/flip top bottles
– second row: pickled red onions, raspberry sauce, marionberry jam, raspberry jam, plum butter, ground cherry jam
– third row: spicy dilly beans, salsa, tomato sauce
– fourth row: apple sauce, raspberry & marionberry juice, oils (canna, calendula, comfrey/ nettle), rose glycerite, salves, dried CBD hemp
– fifth row: mix of dried herbs from garden / suppliers for tea / medicine
– sixth row: pickled jalapenos, relish, pickle slices, more herbs
– seventh row: blackcap raspberry jelly, marionberry syrup, extra jars
– eighth row: supplies like sugar pectin and silica gel packs, vinegar, dried hops in vacuum bags (tea), dried beans
– milk crates: garlic / onions / shallots & bulk coffee (Starbucks markout stash). I still have over 100 garlic heads after planting next year so maybe I grew too much this last year (>300 heads)
There is more preservations in freezer, like basil oil, puréed pumpkin, celery for stock, etc.
Proud of what I did this year and huge step up from last year! Already trying to figure out where I can store more cans!

I love the organization! Nettle Tincture and Raspberry vinegar, wonderful. Marionberry syrup? Fantastic.
(However I will say that the top shelf is bowing/buckling a little too much for my comfort haha I had some shelves with those little moveable pegs give out earlier this year and it was…a mess)
Please don’t lose any of that magnificent stash because of those shelves. That melamine crap is probably the nastiest thing ever to make something that’s made to hold a lot of weight for a long time. Even if you just brace the shelves in the middle, all the way down should do.
Nice work, though!
Looks amazing! Store the empty jars upside down so they aren’t gathering dust inside
Awesome work… but just another vote to invest in a better storage system. I had a very similar shelving unit collapse under the weight of my canning jars after working fine for about 6 months. You don’t want to lose your hard work and jars!
Looks great! I would put the heaviest things on the bottom shelf, and not the top.
