Jam

Jam is a consumable food item. It is a type of meal that can be cooked in a cooking pot . Due to the short shelf life of berries , it is important to preserve them in order to maintain fruit nutrition on a longer-term basis, including during winter , where berries will be completely unavailable for months. Since locating bees to produce honey can be challenging early on, pies and juicing are generally easier to start with. However, once a supply of honey is available, jam lasts for much longer, keeping fresh for about 1.5 years if stored in a well-constructed cellar . Additionally, unlike juice and alcohol , jam increases the satiety of its ingredients instead of reducing it.

Creation

0.2L

0.2L

Jam must be cooked in a cooking pot over a firepit . 6 servings may be cooked at once. Unlike other meal types, jam has strict requirements for all 4 input slots. 2 slots must be fruit, and the other 2 slots much be 0.2 litres of honey each. For example, a full 6 servings would require each honey slot to contain 1.2 litres. Each honeycomb will produce 0.2 litres of honey, so a single serving of jam will require 2 honeycomb. Both berries and tree fruits can be used, and the fruits used do not need to be the same type.

Usage

After cooking, the jam is stored inside the cooking pot. Players can then use a bowl (1 serving) or crock (up to 4 servings) on the cooking pot to transfer the jam to that container. Servings can also be moved by clicking on the cooking pot in the inventory with the desired container. Storing the meal in a crock will provide a slight increase to its shelf life. Using a bowl is required to eat the meal.

Freshly-cooked jam has a shelf life of 45 days, which can be improved to about 1.5 years by storing it in a cellar .
