Organizing spices with mason jars is a simple, practical and lovely way to get your spice cabinet ready for cooking and baking! Organizing spices with mason jars keeps your spices sealed and fresh for when your ready to use them.

Take everything out of your cabinet.

Take everything out of your cabinet. Now you can give all the shelves a good wipe down. Be sure to throw away any expired spices. If your not sure a spice is at it’s best any more give it the whiff test. Take a whiff, if it still smells like that spice it will still add plenty of flavor to your food. I had to get everything out just to see what spices I had in stock and what spices I still needed to purchase.

Next grab your favorite mason jars.

Next grab your favorite mason jars. I chose the Kerr 8oz regular mouth mason jar. This jar is just the right size for those bulk spices I wanted to store. Bonus they are easy to stack! I wrote the name of the spice and the date I put the spice in the jar on the lid with a permanent marker. I purchased my spices from Thrive Market. They have a great selection of spices and you can’t beat their prices!

Last load all those lovely jars full of spices back into the cupboard

Last organize your spices in mason jars. I like to sort them by type of spice. For example staple spices, exotic spices, herbs and baking. It might also be a good idea to put the spices you use on a daily basis on the bottom shelf in the front where they would be easy to reach.

Having organized spices in mason jars makes meal time a little easier because I know just where to find all my spices and can easily see when to replenish them. Plus, now when I open my cupboard I hear beautiful music and it fills me with joy. Just kidding on the music part!
