Does anyone know if it is OK to stack your canned jars? I don't have a lot of storage space and have just finished canning tons of applesauce. I don't know if I should stack the jars or not.
Thank you!

Hi Luanne,
I stack my canned jars but I usually leave the rings on so they don't get bumped around. They stack better with the rings on too.

I try not to..but to be honest I sure do end up stacking jars most years. Especially jam and applesauce for some reason. I wish I had tons more shelf space than I do. I don't stack anything bigger than a pint jar ever though, and I never stack jars with meat or veggies..not sure why...just my own little rule.

I stack things, but I usually have a layer of cardboard in between. If I have the boxes the jars originally came in... I leave the jars in the box and stack the boxes.
Unfortunately, the mice got most of my boxes this last year. arggh.

I have always stacked 2 high, otherwise I don't have enough room, but I always leave the rings on and make sure they are snug before stacking.

I stack mine 2 high also with the rings on and jars sealed tightly.

I stack 2 high of pints and my DH has put up 2x4's in front of shelves so they won't fall out in case of an earthquake.

The cardboard trick works for me as well. And it did for my MIL for many many years!
