How To Get the Preserves Jar in Stardew Valley

The cornerstone of making any type of jelly, including Spice Berry Jelly, is the Preserves Jar. You can acquire this essential tool in two ways:

• By completing the Quality Crops Bundle in the Community Centre, which rewards you with a Preserves Jar. To unlock this bundle, you need to submit three out of four types of "gold quality" crops: pumpkins, melons, corn, and parsnips. Each crop type requires five pieces, all bearing the golden star of quality.
• Alternatively, reaching farming level 4 will also grant you the ability to craft a Preserves Jar. The crafting recipe requires 50 Wood, 40 Stone, and 8 Coal.

Once you have the Preserves Jar, you're ready to turn fruits into delectable preserves. Jelly can be crafted from either grown or foraged fruit. In the Summer, Spice Berries become available, which you can use to make Spice Berry Jelly. These berries can be found in the wild during Summer, within the Farm Cave year-round, or grown in the Greenhouse using Summer Seeds.

With the Preserves Jar in hand, the process of making Spice Berry Jelly becomes straightforward.

How To Make Spice Berry Jelly in Stardew Valley

Here's how to craft your own Spice Berry Jelly:

1. Gather Spice Berries: Hunt for these in the wild during Summer or check the Farm Cave anytime. You can also use a Seed Maker to convert a Spice Berry into Summer Seeds for replanting.
2. Build a Preserves Jar: If you haven't already, craft it using 50 Wood, 40 Stone, and 8 Coal. Remember, completing the Quality Crops Bundle gives you one for free.
3. Creating the Jelly: Simply place a Spice Berry into the Preserves Jar. The transformation into jelly takes about two to three in-game days (54 hours). To optimize your time, start the process before a long break from your farm, like sleeping or mining. You'll notice the Jar pulsing as the Jelly forms.
4. Collect Your Jelly: Once the process is complete, an icon of the Spice Berry Jelly will appear above the Preserves Jar. Collect it to enjoy or sell. Consuming the Jelly replenishes energy, while selling it nets you 160 gold.
