Acquiring the Preserves Jar

The Preserves Jar, essential for making jelly, is obtained in two ways:

Farming Level 4: Reach farming level 4 to unlock the recipe.

Provisions Jar with Jelly icon above it.

Once acquired, the Preserves Jar opens up the possibility of crafting various preserves, including Spice Berry Jelly.

Crafting Spice Berry Jelly

Gather Spice Berries: These can be found during Summer while exploring or in the Farm Cave year-round. Alternatively, use a Seed Maker with a Spice Berry to create Summer Seeds for planting in the Greenhouse.
Build (or Obtain) a Preserves Jar: Crafting requires 50 Wood, 40 Stone, and 8 Coal. The Quality Crops Bundle also rewards a Preserves Jar.
Create the Jelly: Place a Spice Berry into the Preserves Jar. The process takes approximately two to three in-game days (54 hours). Start the process before planned periods of inactivity for optimal timing. The jar will pulse while the jelly is being made.
Collect the Jelly: Once complete, the Spice Berry Jelly icon appears above the jar. Collect the jelly, which can restore energy or be sold for 160 gold.

Adding preserve-making to your Stardew Valley routine provides another avenue for profit and enhances the overall farming experience.
