Spicy Marmalade in Valheim: Recipe, Stats, and Cauldron Requirements
Spicy marmalade is an Ashlands-tier food cooked at a level 5 Cauldron, and the wiki's own line calls it "Sugary honey perfectly balanced with tangy fronds and tart berries." It costs Vineberry cluster x3, Honey x1, and Fiddlehead x1, and it delivers 30 health, 90 stamina, and 1,500 seconds of duration — that's 25 minutes, worked out below. Here's the full stat sheet, the recipe, and what the source data does and doesn't cover.
On sourcing. Iron Gate do not publish system documentation. The figures below come from the community wiki and can change with any patch.
What Spicy Marmalade Is
| Type | Food |
| Made at | Cauldron |
| Usage | Eating |
| Weight (each) | 1.0 |
| Stack size | 10 |
| Portal-safe | Yes |
The item's flavor text reads "Sugary honey perfectly balanced with tangy fronds and tart berries" — the wiki's own wording for the description field, kept verbatim here rather than paraphrased.
A full stack weighs almost nothing. Ten servings at 1.0 weight each is 10 x 1.0 = 10 total weight for the maximum stack.
It's flagged portal-safe, meaning a finished batch of Spicy marmalade can travel through an ordinary portal with the rest of your food. The source data doesn't cover any other transport restriction, so that's the full picture on that front.
The Recipe
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Vineberry cluster | 3 |
| Honey | 1 |
| Fiddlehead | 1 |
Three ingredient types, five items total, and the wiki states plainly: "Spicy marmalade is produced at a level 5 Cauldron." The source doesn't specify whether that level is reached through a particular Cauldron upgrade (the way some other Ashlands recipes are gated behind a named add-on) or simply through repeated Cauldron upgrades in general — that detail is undocumented in this data set, so treat "level 5" as the requirement and check a dedicated Cauldron-upgrade guide for the exact path there.
Where to farm Vineberry cluster, Honey, or Fiddlehead isn't covered by the source used here either — also undocumented, and worth checking an ingredient-specific guide before stocking up.
Stats and the Math Behind Them
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Health | 30 |
| Stamina | 90 |
| Duration | 1500 (seconds) |
| Healing | 4 hp/tick |
1,500 seconds works out to 1500 / 60 = 25 minutes of buff uptime from a single serving. The source lists healing as 4 hp/tick without specifying the length of a tick, so that figure is reported exactly as the wiki gives it rather than converted into a healing-per-minute number that isn't in the data.
The dataset used for this article doesn't include figures for any other food item, so no side-by-side ranking against other dishes is possible here — Spicy marmalade's numbers stand on their own in this article, not against a comparison table.
Practical tips
- Needs a level 5 Cauldron — the exact upgrade path to reach that level isn't specified in this source.
- Recipe is Vineberry cluster x3, Honey x1, Fiddlehead x1 — five items total.
- Yields 30 health, 90 stamina, 1500 seconds (25 minutes), healing at 4 hp/tick.
- It's portal-safe, so a finished batch travels through an ordinary portal.
- A full stack of 10 weighs 10 total at 1.0 weight each.
- Where to farm the three ingredients isn't covered by this source — check an ingredient-specific guide.
Running your own Valheim server
An Ashlands-tier recipe gated behind a level 5 Cauldron is a group effort — someone needs to grind that Cauldron up before anyone gets to taste the result. A gamever Valheim server keeps that progress persistent for up to 10 players, with one-click backups so an upgraded Cauldron and a stocked pantry are never rebuilt from scratch after a crash or a host change.
Conclusion
Spicy marmalade is an Ashlands-tier food made at a level 5 Cauldron from Vineberry cluster x3, Honey x1, and Fiddlehead x1, delivering 30 health, 90 stamina, and 1500 seconds (25 minutes) of duration, healing at 4 hp/tick. It's portal-safe, and a full stack of 10 weighs a flat 10 total at 1.0 weight each. The source data doesn't cover the exact Cauldron-upgrade path to reach level 5, where to farm its three ingredients, or how it stacks up against other dishes — all worth checking against a dedicated guide before you plan a kitchen run around it.
