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.
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.
Note: Tomato is considered as Vegetable.
