What do you always have on hand? Why?

I'd count refrigerated items as pantry staples if they keep for longer than a couple weeks.

One recent addition to my pantry has been dried chillies - great base for red chile sauce for enchiladas. Those plus maseca and some beans (also both staples) and I have a base for amazing enchiladas or tacos or whatever.

Where do you get apple butter? I try to stick up when I can but that seems to be seasonal so I can’t get it at least half the year.

Interestingly, apricot preserves is a good substitute for apple cider, is always available and lasts - I don’t really drink cider out of season but want to cook with it often. However a pork shoulder slathered in apricot preserves works really well when I wanted to spritz it with cider
