A Jar is an empty glass jar used to preserve fresh food. With a Jar Lid, vinegar and salt, it turns a pile of vegetables into a jar of food that keeps for a very long time. An empty jar weighs 0.2.

Jars are the heart of food preserving. A farm harvest can rot within days, but a sealed and cooked jar keeps for years of game time. That makes jars one of the most valuable kitchen items for a long survival.

Empty jars turn up in closets, attics, garages and storage rooms. A Box of Jars holds 6 jars and 6 lids. A skilled glassmaker can also blow new jars. The Chef is the best occupation for cooking. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.

Cooking

The Make Jar of Preserved Food recipe fills one jar. It needs a Jar, a Jar Lid, 2 units of vinegar, salt, a little water and a knife, which is kept. The recipe must be learned before it can be used.

The vegetables needed depend on the type. A jar takes 6 Bell Peppers, 5 Broccoli, 2 Cabbage, 5 Carrots, 3 Eggplants, 4 Leeks, 3 Potatoes, 4 Tomatoes or 15 Radishes. Fish Roe can be jarred as well.

A freshly filled jar has to be cooked to seal it. It cooks in 60 minutes and burns after 120. An uncooked jar stays fresh for only 30 days. A cooked jar stays fresh for 730 days.

When the jar is opened and its contents eaten, the empty jar comes back. It can then be filled again.

Locations

Empty jars are a fairly common find in homes. Closets are the best spot by far, holding them most of the time. Attic boxes and crates, bedroom crates, garage storage and halls hold them now and then. Laboratory desks and university storage rooms carry them too. Hoarder houses are another good place to look. Survivor safehouse bins can turn up a jar as well.

The Open Box of Jars recipe splits a Box of Jars into 6 jars and 6 lids. The Make Glass Jar recipe blows a new jar from molten glass. It needs Glassmaking level 5, pliers and a Glass Blowing Pipe, and the recipe must be learned.
