My brand spanking new organised pantry

It’s International Choose Glass Week and we are honouring the beauty, versatility and recyclability of glass by bringing you a DIY project that you can use in your home to get you pantry in order.

Having a spick-and-span grocery cupboard can be difficult when the ingredients we buy to make our delicious meals are often sold in a great deal of packaging. Thank you to the quaint glass mason jars from Consol paired with our easy to use labels you will be able to store some of your basic food items in a beautiful way.

DIY ELEPHANTSHOE MY PANTRY 04 My brand spanking new organised pantry

Recipe:

I find having everything organised in my kitchen gives me a little more energy to get down with some baking. We thought you may feel the same. Here is a cute and different way for you to share your sweet treats with your family and friends instead of serving in your usual cups or bowls. The jars are inexpensive and I love that you can see the layering of ingredients, it somehow makes everything look more scrumptious.

DIY ELEPHANTSHOE MY PANTRY 05 My brand spanking new organised pantry

Simply follow the directions below to assemble a yummy Caramel Nougat Cheesecake.

Download our , “something yummy from my pantry” recipe card and labels here.

Caramel and Nougat Cheesecake:

Your Shopping List

  • Consol Glass Jars
  • Tennis Biscuits
  • Butter
  • Cream Cheese
  • Icing Sugar
  • Double Cream
  • Vanilla Pod
  • Caramel Treat
  • Nougat

Method

To make the base : place the tennis biscuits in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Mix the melted butter and these crumbs in a large bowl until all the crumbs are coated with butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of glass jars to create an even layer. Place these jars in the fridge to chill .

To make the filling : remove the seeds from the vanilla pod and beat with an electric mixer together with the cream cheese and the  icing sugar until the mixture is smooth. Slowly combine the cream.  Once all the ingredients are combined spoon the mixture  over the biscuit base in each glass jar.

To make the topping : spread the caramel treat over the filling and decorate with nougat.

Directions for Labels:

  1. Please print page 3 of the downloaded document onto a very thick A4 card stock. (Ivory colour preferable).
  2. Trim each circle by cutting along the outer edge. There are 3 colour options available.
  3. Punch a hole at the top of each circle and attach to each cheesecake jar with twine.
  4. Serve to your guests or give as a gift.

The loveliness and charm of these bottles has been captured thanks to Blackframe Photography. Your work is beautiful and it is a privilege to partner with you in putting together this weeks DIY. To view and admire some of their other photography please take a peek at their blog.

Happy organising.

    It will be lovely if you can make ones with no “product” names…that each person can fill in there own products! Even if the “my pantry” is not there, then we can also fill it in, in AFRIKAANS ;-) Will it be possible??

  • http://WebsiteN/a NameRozanna Howe

    Sam, this is awesome I love it! Where can one buy the glass jars?

    • http://www.renschemari.com Rensche Mari

      You can also get them at the Consol Factory shop at Malboro drive in Johannesburg – on the M1 (its a couple of stores down from Makro) – there are so many different types of awesome glass there – and its sooooooo cheap!

  • http://www.theprettyblog.com Nicola

    Hi Rozanna

    You can find them in Pick & Pay or Checkers.

    Hi there – is there anyway you can make this template with the ability for us to type the ingredients in? My handwriting is awful and it will look so much better with typed font…but I have more to do than just coconut, raisins, etc.

    Thanks!

    I just went out today & bought quart & 1/2 gal glass jars to use for storage in my pantry, came home & saw this. I found moths in the pantry & thought this was a great way to solve that problem! It is a great looking & very economical way to store things. The labels are a great idea, I can’t wait to try it!!!

  • Kathy

    Hi, I am in need of a little help or information. I hope you can be of assistance. I am in the process of remodeling my kitchen and in doing so am having a special spice cabinet as part of the design. i have over 50 spices and I am totally in love with your pantry labels and blank labels. I would SOOOOO much love to use these labels as my labels on my spice jars. However, they are so beautiful that I hate to destroy their good looks with my handwriting. Gah! Do you offer, for purchase or free download or ??? a way to customize these with the printed spice names? Thank you so much for your time and for sharing your talent.

  • AliTN

    Would love to be able to type my own things on the labels, but still password protected. Guess I will be looking for others elsewhere. Too bad – these were cute. :(
