11Overview22Red-Hot Medley is a cooking recipe in Starsand Island that brings together three lively red ingredients into a colorful fruit platter. The in-game description reads: "A lively fruit platter of dragon fruit, red grapes, and tomatoes. It's bursting with color and packed with vitamins." It belongs to the Saucepan cooking method category and holds a Rarity I rating at Item Level 3.44The recipe calls for three Dragon Fruit, one Red Grape, and one Tomato. With a cook time of 59 seconds, it is a quick dish to prepare. Red-Hot Medley restores 106 stamina when consumed and sells for 252 Coins, making it a solid choice for both stamina recovery and income. The recipe is obtained from the Beach Festival, so players will need to participate in that seasonal event to unlock it.66Recipe Details88AttributeDetailsRecipe NameRed-Hot MedleyIngredientsDragon Fruit x3, Red Grape x1, Tomato x1Cooking StationGas Stove or CampfireCooking MethodSaucepanCook Time59 secondsRarityI (Item Level 3)Stamina Restored106Sell Price252 CoinsBase Value305 CoinsCooking EXP201010Red-Hot Medley can be cooked at either a Gas Stove or a Campfire. Both stations produce the same dish with identical cook times. The Gas Stove is generally more convenient because it allows you to queue multiple recipes while you handle other tasks around the farm.1111Where to Get the Recipe1313The Red-Hot Medley recipe is obtained from the Beach Festival, a seasonal event that takes place on Summer 27 at Half-Moon Bay. During the festival, players can purchase exclusive recipes and items using Beach Coins earned through festival activities. The Beach Market opens at 12:00 PM on the day of the event and sells recipes that are not available anywhere else in the game.1515Because the Beach Festival only happens once per year in-game, players who miss it will need to wait until the following Summer 27 for another opportunity. It is a good idea to stock up on Beach Coins by completing the festival preparation quests on Summer 25 and 26, then spend them at the market to pick up Red-Hot Medley along with any other exclusive recipes on offer.1717Once learned, the recipe is permanently available in your cooking menu whenever you interact with a Gas Stove or Campfire.1919Ingredient Sourcing2121Red-Hot Medley requires three different ingredients, each obtained through a different method. Here is how to get each one in sufficient quantities.2323Dragon Fruit2525Dragon Fruit (also known as Pitaya) is a foraged item that cannot currently be farmed. It spawns on the ground in several locations across the island. The most reliable spots are near the G-Power Bike store and the area north of Half-Moon Bay. Dragon Fruit tends to appear more frequently during the Fall and Winter seasons. Each serving of Red-Hot Medley requires 3 Dragon Fruit, so you will want to collect them regularly on foraging runs.2727Raw Dragon Fruit sells for only 10 Coins and restores a modest 13 stamina when eaten on its own. Since no vendor currently sells Dragon Fruit seeds, keeping a reserve of this ingredient in your storage is important. Do not sell your Dragon Fruit supply unless you have more than enough for your cooking needs.2929Red Grape3131Red Grape is a fruit crop that grows during Autumn and Winter. Red Grape Seeds are available at the Happiness Seed Shop once you reach Junior Farmer rank. The seeds cost 150 Coins each. The crop requires a Trellis to grow, takes 3 days to mature, and yields 2 Red Grapes per harvest. After the first harvest, the plant regrows and produces another crop every 3 days without replanting.3333Only 1 Red Grape is needed per batch of Red-Hot Medley, so even a small patch of trellis-grown grapes can sustain regular cooking. Red Grapes sell for 95 Coins each if you have extras. They are also used in other recipes and can be processed into Red Grape Jam or Red Grape Juice, both of which provide useful buffs.3535Tomato3737Tomato is a fruit crop that grows during Spring and Summer. Tomato Seeds cost 140 Coins from the Happiness Seed Shop and take 4.5 days to mature on standard Soil or Farmland. Each harvest yields 2 Tomatoes. Only 1 Tomato is required per serving of Red-Hot Medley.3939Because Tomatoes grow in Spring and Summer while Red Grapes grow in Autumn and Winter, you will need to plan your ingredient stockpile across seasons. Grow Tomatoes during the warmer months and store extras for when the season changes. Tomatoes sell for 103 Coins each and are also used in recipes like Tomato Beef Stew.4141Profitability4343Red-Hot Medley sells for 252 Coins per serving. The following breaks down the raw ingredient costs to determine whether cooking this dish is worthwhile for profit.4545IngredientQuantityRaw Sell ValueTotalDragon Fruit310 Coins each30 CoinsRed Grape195 Coins95 CoinsTomato1103 Coins103 CoinsTotal Raw Value228 Coins4747Selling the finished Red-Hot Medley at 252 Coins yields a profit of 24 Coins over the raw ingredient value of 228 Coins. This is a modest margin, but the dish offers more value through its 106 stamina recovery. If you are cooking primarily for stamina, the profitability is a secondary benefit rather than the main draw.4848Selling on the Merchant Ship5050The Merchant Ship at Starsand Port pays double the normal selling price for all goods. Selling Red-Hot Medley to the Merchant Ship earns 504 Coins per serving instead of 252. At that rate, the profit over raw ingredients jumps to 276 Coins per batch, making it a much stronger earner when the ship is in port.5252Gifting Preferences5454Red-Hot Medley can be given as a gift to the island's residents. Knowing which characters appreciate this dish helps you build friendship efficiently.5656ReactionCharactersLovedRegisLikedAll other characters (except those listed below)DislikedBruce, Panda, SagewoodHatedMatilda5858Regis is the only character who loves Red-Hot Medley, making it an excellent gift choice for raising your relationship with him.
