Spicy Marmalade is an Ashlands-tier food that boosts your health by 30, stamina by 90, and health regeneration by 4 hp/tick for 25 minutes. It’s cooked in a level 5 Cauldron by combining 3 Vineberry Clusters, Honey, and Fiddlehead.
While it mainly uses Ashlands ingredients, you won’t need the Ashlands Cauldron improvement to cook Spicy Marmalade
Here’s where you’ll find the ingredients for Spicy Marmalade:
Vineberry Cluster is a grape-looking berry that grows on the walls in the Ashlands biome
Honey is produced by bees after you place a Queen Bee into a Beehive
Fiddlehead is a swirly pink plant that grows in the Ashlands
Vineberry Cluster is the main ingredient in Spicy Marmalade. You’ll first encounter Vineberry Clusters growing naturally on the walls of abandoned buildings in the Ashlands biome. When you gather them, there’s a chance you’ll also get some Vineberry Seeds. These seeds can be planted with the Cultivator tool (Corewood x5, Bronze x5) in most other biomes, including the Meadows, to create a Vineberry Cluster farm.
To start making Honey, you’ll first need to find a Queen Bee and place her in a Beehive. After that, bees will continuously make Honey for you. Each Beehive can hold up to 4 Honey, so it’s best to have several of them working at once.
Fiddlehead is the only part of this recipe that can’t be farmed. These swirly pink plants grow on the ground in the Ashlands biome, usually around the biome’s abandoned structures. Whenever you gather them, they take 300 minutes to respawn.
On top of the ingredients, you’ll also need a level 5 Cauldron (Tin x10) to cook Spicy Marmalade. For that, you’ll need to place the following improvements near your Cauldron – Spice Rack (Dandelion x3, Carrot x2, Mushroom x5, Thistle x3, Turnip x3), Butcher’s Table (Ancient Bark x2, Corewood x4, Finewood x4, Silver x2), Pots and Pans (Iron x5, Copper x5, Black Metal x5, Finewood x10), and Mortar and Pestle (Black Marble x8, Finewood x6, Corewood x4). When that’s done, simply interact with your Cauldron to combine 3 Vineberry Clusters, Honey, and Fiddlehead into Spicy Marmalade.

Food
Eating Spicy Marmalade increases your health by 30, stamina by 90, and health regeneration by 4 hp/tick for 25 minutes. You can combine it with up to two other foods, but can’t eat more than a single Spicy Marmalade at once.
The buff you get from eating Spicy Marmalade will start out strong but grow weaker with time. When there’s just 50% of its duration left, or 12.5 minutes, you’ll be able to eat another Spicy Marmalade and refresh its effects.
Helpful Tips
Spicy Marmalade is an early Ashlands food, meaning you won’t need to build an Ashlands-specific Cauldron improvement to cook it
Whenever you gather Fiddlehead, it takes 300 minutes to respawn, so marking good Fiddlehead spawns on your map can be a good idea
You’re not guaranteed to get some Vineberry Seeds when picking up Vineberry Clusters, so if you don’t get some right away, just keep looking
