| 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}}. | | Preserves Jars consume less time than [[Keg]]s, but will usually yield less profit.

− | | + | 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).
