A Jar of Bell Peppers is a sealed glass jar of pickled bell peppers. It is a way to keep a pepper harvest long after fresh peppers would rot. A full jar weighs 0.8.
The jar has to be opened before the peppers can be eaten. Opening it gives a Jar of Bell Peppers (Open), which lowers hunger by 48. That is as much food as the 6 fresh peppers that went into it.
Jars are made with the Make Jar of Preserved Food recipe. Sealed jars also turn up in survivor caches, farm houses and home fridges.
Eating
A sealed jar has to be opened first. The Open Jar of Preserved Food recipe opens it and gives a Jar of Bell Peppers (Open).
The opened jar lowers hunger by 48. It holds 180 calories, mostly from 42 grams of carbohydrates, with 6 grams of protein. A single fresh Bell Pepper lowers hunger by 8 and holds 30 calories. The jar keeps the full value of 6 peppers in one item.
Once opened, the peppers spoil within a few days. A jar is best opened only when a meal is planned.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.
| Item | Hunger | Calories | Carbs | Protein | Fat |

| Jar of Bell Peppers | -48 | 180 | 42 | 6 | 0 |
Cooking
The Make Jar of Preserved Food recipe fills one jar with 6 Bell Peppers. It also needs an empty Jar, a Jar Lid, 2 units of vinegar, salt, a little water and a knife, which is kept. The recipe must be learned first.
A freshly filled jar has to be cooked to seal it. It cooks in 60 minutes and burns after 120. Cooking turns a jar that keeps for a month into one that keeps for years.

Storage
An uncooked jar stays fresh for 30 days and is fully rotten by day 60. Once cooked, the jar stays fresh for 730 days and rots only after 1560. Jars found as loot are already cooked and sealed.
A fresh Bell Pepper stays fresh for only 5 days. Jarring is the best way to keep a pepper crop through the winter.
Locations
Sealed jars of bell peppers are an uncommon find. Survivor food caches and survivor crates are the likeliest spots. Farm house counters hold them now and then. Safehouse fridges and house fridges turn one up on occasion. Garages, closets, attics, kitchens and storage units can hide a jar, but only rarely.

Notes
- Cook every jar after filling it, or it keeps for only 30 days.
- Open the jar only when the peppers will be eaten soon, since opened jars spoil fast.
- The empty Jar comes back after eating, ready to fill again.
- A jar holds the same hunger and calories as the 6 peppers that went into it.
