I’d like to do the same with my mulberry tree:
In an effort to eat fewer imports during Cleveland’s winter I made a decision to learn to preserve food this summer. I began with the fruit that grows in the backyard of my century-old, Ohio City rental. First, I tackled the annoying mulberry tree by my driveway. Giving myself an attitude adjustment about the mushy, stinky, fly-attracting mush, I decided to pick the ripened fruit before it hit the ground. I got some recipes online, some mason jars, and some pectin and made my first ever batch of jam. It was fun, edible, empowering, useful and gift-worthy…

We did this when I was a kid in Mid-Michigan. In our yard we had little semi-wild patches of grapes, red and black raspberries, strawberries, and a mulberry tree. Plus whatever we cultivated. We’d freeze berries in baggies, then make pies all winter long. Cheap fun!
My mom canned a lot. Corn, green beans, tomatoes, pickles, beets, carrots, we had shelves groaning with the stuff. When I bought my first house, I put in tomatoes (way way too many tomatoes!) and froze dozens of pints of chopped tomatoes. Again, they lasted all winter.
