How to Get the Preserves Jar in Stardew Valley
The Preserves Jar is a key tool for crafting various preserved goods like Pickles, Caviar, Aged Roe, and Jelly. You can unlock it by completing the Quality Crops Bundle in the Community Centre or by reaching farming level 4. Once you have the Preserves Jar, you’re all set to start making Jelly from either grown or foraged fruit. During the Summer, you can specifically create Spice Berry Jelly. Spice Berries can be found in the Farm Cave throughout the year or grown in the Greenhouse using Summer Seeds.
To unlock the Preserves Jar through the Community Centre, you'll need to submit three out of four “gold quality” crops: pumpkins, melons, corn, and parsnips. Each of your chosen crops requires five pieces of gold quality produce. For instance, you might choose to submit 5 Corn, 5 Pumpkins, and 5 Parsnips, all bearing the coveted gold quality star.
Once you've unlocked the Preserves Jar, the process to make Spice Berry Jelly becomes quite straightforward.
