*Stardew Valley* is a game filled with endless possibilities, from farming and mining to fishing and foraging. One of the unique aspects of the game is the ability to create your own provisions, such as the delightful Spice Berry Jelly. Here's a detailed guide on how to make this tasty treat in *Stardew Valley*.
How To Get the Preserves Jar in Stardew Valley
To start crafting Spice Berry Jelly, you'll need a Preserves Jar. This essential tool can be obtained by completing the Quality Crops Bundle in the Community Centre or by reaching farming level 4. With the Preserves Jar, you can make a variety of preserves, including Pickles, Caviar, Aged Roe, and, of course, Jelly.
Jelly is crafted from either grown or foraged fruit. During the Summer season, once you have your Preserves Jar, you can create Spice Berry Jelly. Spice Berries are available in the Farm Cave throughout the year or can be 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. For each of the three crops you choose, you must provide five units of "gold quality" produce. For instance, you could submit 5 Corn, 5 Pumpkins, and 5 Parsnips, ensuring they all bear the coveted "gold quality" star.
Once you have your Preserves Jar, making Spice Berry Jelly becomes a breeze.

Here’s how to transform those Spice Berries into delicious jelly:
- Gather Spice Berries: You can find these during the Summer season while exploring outdoors or in the Farm Cave at any time. Additionally, using a Spice Berry in a Seed Maker can yield 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.
- Creating the Jelly: Simply place a Spice Berry in the Preserves Jar. The transformation process takes about two to three in-game days (or 54 hours).

- Collect Your Jelly: Once the process is complete, the Spice Berry Jelly icon will appear above the Preserves Jar, ready for you to collect. You can then consume it to replenish your energy or sell it for 160 gold.
