Stardew Valley offers a rich tapestry of activities, from farming and mining to fishing. Yet, another fascinating aspect of the game is crafting your own provisions and preserves. Here's a detailed guide on how to create Spice Berry Jelly in Stardew Valley.
How To Get the Preserves Jar in Stardew Valley
The Preserves Jar is essential for making various preserved goods like Pickles, Caviar, Aged Roe, and Jelly. You can obtain this useful item either as a reward for completing the Quality Crops Bundle in the Community Centre or by reaching farming level 4.
Jelly can be crafted from both grown and foraged fruit. During the Summer, once you have the Preserves Jar, you can create Spice Berry Jelly. Spice Berries can be found in the Farm Cave during any season or grown in the Greenhouse using Summer Seeds.
To unlock the Preserves Jar through the Community Centre, you need to submit three out of the four "gold quality" crops: pumpkins, melons, corn, and parsnips. You'll need to provide five fruits or vegetables for each of the three selected crops. For instance, you might choose 5 Corn, 5 Pumpkins, and 5 Parsnips, but they all must be of "gold quality."
Once you've unlocked the Preserves Jar, crafting Spice Berry Jelly becomes a straightforward task.

How To Make Spice Berry Jelly in Stardew Valley
To create Spice Berry Jelly, follow these steps:
- Gather Spice Berries: Search for them in the outdoors during the Summer or in the Farm Cave at any time. You can also place a Spice Berry in a Seed Maker to obtain Summer Seeds for replanting.
- Build a Preserves Jar: Once unlocked, crafting the jar requires 50 Wood, 40 Stone, and 8 Coal. Completing the Quality Crops Bundle rewards you with one Preserves Jar.
- Create the Jelly: Place a Spice Berry in the Preserves Jar. The process takes about two to three in-game days (or 54 hours) to complete. For maximum efficiency, start the process before periods of inactivity, such as sleeping or mining. The Preserves Jar will "pulse" while the Jelly is being made.
- Collect Your Jelly: Once finished, the Spice Berry Jelly icon will appear above the Preserves Jar, ready for collection. You can then consume the Jelly to restore energy during other activities or sell it for 160 gold.
Crafting Jelly is just one of the many ways players can enhance their farm's productivity and contribute to the vibrant world of Stardew Valley.
