Preserves Jars consume less time than [[Keg]]s, but will usually yield less profit. However, low-value, high-yield crops like [[blackberry|blackberries]], [[Green Bean|green beans]] and [[corn]] are actually more profitable in the preserves jar than in the keg, as well as being much faster to process. As an example, corn [[juice]], which is made in the keg, is worth {{price|113}}, but corn pickles, which are made in the preserves jar, are worth {{price|150}}. Salmonberry wine, which is made in the keg, is only worth {{price|15}}, but Salmonberry jelly, which is made in the preserves jar, is worth {{price|60}}.

The Preserves Jar increases the profit of a crop using the following equation, (2 * Base [[Crop]] Value + 50), 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 [[tomato|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).
