SUSTAINABLE HARVESTING:

Picking (or shaking) ripe mulberries from the tree doesn’t harm the tree.

PRESERVING THE HARVEST:

Spread mulberries apart on a baking sheet and individually freeze. Once frozen, double bag and gently squeeze the air out or vacuum seal and return to the freezer. Use before the next season rolls around. Extract the juice by forcing mulberries through a kitchen strainer with a pestle (rounded stick) from a mortar and pestle; by wearing dishwashing gloves and squeezing through cheesecloth; by using a food strainer; or by steam extraction with a juice extractor (I use a Mehu-Liisa extractor) – then refrigerate or can. Mulberries may also be dried.
