Canning!

I was canning tomatoes IRL today and I had an idea for the game. Wouldn't it be cool to can items? You could create another cooking tool similar to the pot and still. A hybrid, if you say. When you put items into the canning apparatus to can them, it jars them itself (as in: we wouldn't need to have jars as an item). It would help those who may want to reduce down the number of foods they have in their inventory (like 10 cherries make a cherry jam which gives you the same energy as a regular cherry but x10... unfortunately this would make it not un-bundleable like the wheat is but a whole new item instead... for bundling for cherries and fruit and beans and whatnot maybe make bushels? Who knows. BACK TO TOPIC!)

So I was thinking... you could make a whole array of recipes with this and integrate into the cooking system already in place. You could can tomatoes to make tomato sauce, which can be used to make a tomato sauce based food in the frying pan. You could can tomatoes plus onions to make stewed tomatoes, a food on it's own or also an ingredient in a more complicated food made somewhere else (like maybe a stew?). You could use it to make flavored jams from various fruits, maybe even a combined-fruit jam or an "exotic jam" which combines different fruits, much like the exotic salad. Then you can use the jams to make sandwiches on your cutting board.

It could even be integrated with the already-existing pot.

What do you think? It would be a fun way to condense foodstuffs without having to use a ton of energy. If it's implemented like a still, it could be a place-able item, rather than another tool you'd have to carry around with you all the time.

Just an idea!
