Queen's Jam in Valheim: Recipe, Stats, and the Real Scandinavian Jam It's Named For
A serving of Queen's Jam adds 14 health and 40 stamina for 1,200 seconds — 20 minutes — with 2 hp healed per tick. It's a Black Forest-tier food cooked in a level 1 Cauldron, made from raspberries and blueberries, and the wiki's own description calls it "that classic tasty blend of raspberries and blueberries." This guide covers the full stat block, the exact recipe and per-jam cost, where it ranks against the biome's other stamina foods, and the handful of fields the source leaves blank.
Queen's Jam at a Glance
The wiki's infobox gives a complete stat block:
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Health | +14 |
| Stamina | +40 |
| Duration | 1,200 seconds (20 minutes) |
| Healing | 2 hp per tick |
| Weight | 1.0 |
| Stack size | 10 |
| Teleportable | Yes |
In-game item description, quoted directly from the source: "That classic tasty blend of raspberries and blueberries."
The item is listed with two uses — Crafting and Eating — and a weight of 1.0 with a stack of 10 means a full stack only costs 10.0 of your carry capacity, cheap enough to keep alongside other Black Forest food without thinking about it.
The Recipe
The source is specific about both the station and the batch size. Quoted directly: "Four Queen's jams are produced in a level 1 Cauldron with: Raspberries x8, Blueberries x6." So one cook cycle is:
- Raspberries x8
- Blueberries x6
- Yields 4 Queen's jams
Worked out per jam, that's 8 ÷ 4 = 2 raspberries and 6 ÷ 4 = 1.5 blueberries for each individual jam — useful for planning exactly how much foraging a target stock of jams needs, rather than guessing from the batch total. Both ingredients are Black Forest forage berries, and the station requirement is the base level 1 Cauldron, with no upgrade needed.
Where It Ranks on Stamina
The wiki's Notes section states plainly: "Queen's jam provides the second-highest stamina gain in the Black Forest at 40, second to Carrot soup at 45." That's a direct, named comparison, not a vague "one of the best" claim — and the gap is small: 45 − 40 = 5 stamina, a five-point difference between the biome's top two stamina foods.
Queen's Jam also has a second listed use beyond eating on its own: it's a crafting ingredient in the Black Forest buffet platter. The source doesn't list how many jams that platter recipe itself requires, so treat the exact platter cost as undocumented until checked on that item's own page — what's confirmed here is only that Queen's Jam feeds into it.
The Duration, and What's Not on the Label
The infobox lists duration as 1,200 seconds. Converted to a number you'd actually plan a trip around: 1,200 ÷ 60 = 20 minutes.
The healing rate is listed as 2 hp per tick, but the source doesn't specify how many seconds a "tick" lasts, so the total health regenerated across the full 20-minute buff can't be computed from this data alone — that figure is undocumented here. The infobox also has no buy/sell price fields and no listed secondary effect beyond the health, stamina, and healing already covered above, so treat pricing and any extra effect as unconfirmed rather than assumed to be zero.
One more thing worth knowing, purely as background: Queen's Jam is named after a real dish. The wiki's trivia notes it's "a popular jam in Scandinavia, made by mixing raspberries and blueberries, both sweet and common, in the region," and that the real ''drottningsylt'' — queen's jam — is a staple with Swedish pancakes and plättar.
Practical tips
- 14 health, 40 stamina, 1,200 seconds (20 min) — the full stat line, straight from the infobox.
- Cook it at a level 1 Cauldron with 8 Raspberries and 6 Blueberries for a batch of 4.
- Per jam, that's 2 Raspberries and 1.5 Blueberries (8÷4 and 6÷4).
- Second-highest stamina gain in the Black Forest at 40 — only 5 behind Carrot Soup's 45.
- Also a crafting ingredient in the Black Forest buffet platter (exact quantity not listed here).
- 1,200 seconds = 20 minutes (1,200 ÷ 60).
- Tick length in seconds, buy/sell price, and any secondary effect aren't covered by this source — treat all three as unconfirmed.
Running your own Valheim server
A Black Forest recipe like this one assumes a base already stocked with a Cauldron and a running berry supply — infrastructure that only stays put if the world stays online. A gamever Valheim server keeps that Cauldron, your berry bushes, and your food stores live for up to 10 players without one person hosting from their own PC. One-click backups protect the base you built to get this far, and automatic updates keep everyone on the same patch without manual syncing.
Conclusion
Queen's Jam is a Black Forest-tier Cauldron food — level 1 Cauldron, 8 Raspberries + 6 Blueberries per batch of 4, or 2 Raspberries and 1.5 Blueberries per jam — that delivers +14 health, +40 stamina, 1,200 seconds (20 minutes, from 1,200 ÷ 60) of duration, and 2 hp of healing per tick. The wiki calls out its stamina figure as the second-highest in the Black Forest, just 5 points behind Carrot Soup's 45, and it also feeds into the Black Forest buffet platter as a crafting ingredient. The tick length behind the 2 hp/tick figure, its buy/sell pricing, and any secondary effect are all undocumented in this source and worth checking separately before planning a precise healing budget around them.
