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.

Yes! But if your don't make it or have someone that gifts it to you, the house probably does not have some butter.

I need to make sure more houses have apple butter!

    I guess the trick is to go to people's houses and make apple butter with them.

    My electric pressure canner is here and I'm positive my kitchen is clean. I'll just keep sending people apple butter instead!

    The Apple Butter Distribution Network is how you make friends and influence people.

    What's your batch size capacity in that electric canner? I have four canners, non electric. I can pull more than 20 pints simultaneously.
