16. Ketchup: Yup, your ketchup is just fine in your pantry — even
after it has been opened. Because of the amount of vinegar and preservatives,
it will do just fine (think ketchup packets at your favorite fast-food
restaurant).
17. Jam: Due to the high amount of preservatives in jams and
jellies, they are also OK to store in the pantry after opening.
18. Stone fruits: Stone fruits aren’t friends of the fridge, so leave
them on the counter until they’re ripe, and then eat.
19. Pickles: Another item high in preservatives, mainly vinegar,
pickles will stay crisp in the pantry. But, if you’re a fan of cold ones, store
them in the refrigerator door, which leaves the coldest spots of the fridge for
items that really need the space.
20. Garlic: Store garlic in a paper bag in a cool, dark spot, and
it holds its wonderful flavor for weeks.
