A Jar of Leeks is a sealed glass jar of pickled leeks. It keeps a leek harvest long after the fresh leeks would rot. A full jar weighs 0.8.
The jar has to be opened before the leeks can be eaten. Opening it gives a Jar of Leeks (Open), which lowers hunger by 48 and holds 216 calories. That matches the 4 fresh Leeks 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 Leeks (Open).
The opened jar lowers hunger by 48. It holds 216 calories and about 15 grams of protein. That is a fair meal for both the stomach and body weight.
A single fresh Leek lowers hunger by 12 and holds 54 calories. The jar keeps the full value of 4 leeks in one item.
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 Leeks | -48 | 216 | 560 | 15.2 | 1.2 |
Cooking
The Make Jar of Preserved Food recipe fills one jar with 4 Leeks. 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 Leek stays fresh for only 5 days. Jarring is the best way to keep a leek crop through the winter.
Locations
Sealed jars of leeks 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 leeks 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 4 leeks that went into it.
