Best Use Strategy for Cranberries

Reliable Fall regrowth crop with strong raw selling and fast Preserves Jar turnover.

Best choice

Use Preserves Jars before Kegs when machine time is limited. Cranberry Wine is worth 25g more per berry, but Jelly finishes much faster.

Do this

Plant on Fall 1, sell raw berries for fast cash, and jar overflow when you have enough Preserves Jars.

Avoid this mistake

Do not fill valuable Kegs with Cranberries if Starfruit, Ancient Fruit, Hops, or Pumpkins are waiting.
