Once acquired, the jar unlocks the ability to create Pickles, Caviar, Aged Roe, and various Jellies.
Spice Berry Jelly Recipe
-
Gather Spice Berries: These can be foraged during Summer, found in the Farm Cave year-round, or grown from Summer Seeds in the Greenhouse. A Seed Maker can create Summer Seeds from existing berries.
-
Construct (or Obtain) a Preserves Jar: Crafting requires 50 Wood, 40 Stone, and 8 Coal. The Quality Crops Bundle provides one as a reward.
-
Jelly Creation: Place a Spice Berry into the Preserves Jar. The process takes approximately two to three in-game days (54 hours). Begin this process before extended periods away from your farm for maximum efficiency. The jar will visually pulse while the jelly is being made.
-
Harvest Your Jelly: Once complete, the Spice Berry Jelly icon appears above the jar. Collect the jelly to restore energy or sell for 160 gold.
