do fruit star lvls effect perserve jar's quaility?
As the title states. Will it or would it be better to sell the gold star fruits vs preserving them?

Nope. Though if you care to take the time jellies made from even gold star fruits are worth more than the fruits themselves.

I'm not sure quality even applies to jellies/pickels.

If you have too many fruits for the number of preserve jars then it makes sense to sell the silver and gold quality fruit and turn the rest to jelly. But as noted above, jelly sells for more than gold star fruit so you won't lose money by preserving gold quality produce. Whether the smaller profit margin matters is up to you to decide.

Note that you can look all this up on the wiki. Just search for the particular fruit or vegetable to find the sale values for different qualities, jelly/preserve, wines, with and without the various professions.

This is the same for wines, but with wine you can age them in a cask to get silver to iridium quality wine. Aging in casks requires the 3rd house upgrade.

The quality of the fruit will not affect the price or quality of the processed product. For this reason, it is possible to reduce the value of something by processing it... but this is extremely rare.

In the case of Preserves Jar, it's impossible.

It would have to be an Iridium-quality Fruit processed by a character with Tiller but not Artisan, the Fruit would have to be eligible to be affected by Tiller, and the Fruit's base value would have to be high enough for Tiller to beat the Jar's base +50g.

There are no Fruit in the game that match this description.

Yep! Especially once you gain professions.

For example, iridium quality large milk is worth more than gold star cheese,
So you’re better off just selling the iridium quality milk instead of processing it into cheese. Same is true for iridium truffle. You would be losing money if you processed an iridium quality large milk into cheese or iridium truffle into truffle oil.

These posts add nothing of value... It's just you pointing and shouting. Yes, it is an old post, so what? The whole point of a forum is to preserve discussion topics which may be of future interest. This isnt instagram...

I do wish all products could get * quality and I'm not totally sure why preserves are the exception. Maybe from a "lore" perspective, pickling and jellying boils off everything but the lowest common denominators in the flavour profile? And from a game design perspective, I *think* jars are the player's first processing machine, so maybe it is simplified to get them into the cycle of play. It's easy for a lot of us to forget playing our very first stardew farms but a lot of little details like this are in the game to ease beginners into the flow..

Old posts often contain outdated information and should not be dug up without a good reason. It also pings anyone who's still subscribed to the discussion unnecessarily, since most people have likely moved on from the discussion.

Can confirm. Did not expect this to come up. My own post is so alien to me that it might as well have been written by a complete stranger.

Couldn't tell you if the information is outdated or not either.

“Olden times”😂

New people are playing these games all the time. New players are also finding these very posts, and my comment could very well help someone, or give them some new information, which it has before.

The whole “necro posting” isn’t much of a thing anymore(especially on Reddit) and was geared more toward people who would only comment things like “I agree” on a post that’s 10 years old. At least I provided some information, unlike you. Also, you can in fact ignore notifications and/or uncheck the sub to discussion…

I for one vote to burn the necro at the stake. he has added nothing of value.

Rules as of 2017 vs today have changed enough to ask the question again.

Relevant note: that sick new MARGO mod has a module that adds a possible * to preserved and kegged products, up to the * of what was inserted

Really interesting modset. Google MARGO Stardew if interested
