The '''Preserves Jar''' is a piece of [[equipment]] used to make [[Artisan Goods]]. It takes a single [[fruit]] or [[vegetable]] and converts them into [[Jellies and Pickles]], respectively. <br>

Preserve Jar consume less time than [[Keg]], but will usually yield less profit. However the low-value, high-yield crops like blackberries, green beans and corn are actually more profitable in the preserve jar than in the keg, as well as being much faster to process. As an example, corn juice (keg) is worth 113 gold, but corn pickles are worth 150 gold. Salmonberry wine is only worth 15 gold, but Salmonberry jelly is worth 60 gold.

Jellies and Pickles are common villager favorites. See [[Social]] for more information.

Quality of ingredients makes no difference to the finished product. The value of the finished product is determined using the base value (i.e. with no silver or gold star) of the [[fruit]]/[[vegetable]]. However, the preserved version is always more profitable than even gold star produce, although the profit margin is lower compared to normal produce. <br>

== Preserve Jar Vs. Keg ==

==Preserves Jar vs. Keg==

The [[Preserves Jar]] increases the profit of a crop using the following equation: 50g + (2 * base value of crop), while the [[Keg]] multiplies the base value of [[fruits]] by 3, and [[vegetables]] by 2.25. Because of this, low-value high-yield crops like corn or tomatoes are more valuable in the preserves jar. The keg, on the other hand, favors crops with a much higher base value, such as [[Ancient Fruit]] or [[Melon]]s. Below is a list of crops that are more beneficial to be put in the preserves jar.

It should be noted that these calculations only involve the value gained in terms of max profit; if looking at profit per day based on the time required, it is always more beneficial to use a preserves jar, on the highest value item possible (2 days to multiply value by 2x).
