I spoke with Michael McKonky of Edible Landscaping once about mulberries. He mentioned that he picks so much mulberries and whatever he can't eat fresh would put them in a ziplock in the freezer. I tried that last year, and I was surprised  that they tasted almost fresh when thawed in winter. I was able to use them in fruit salads.

I have read that Morus nigra used to be dried on a large scale in places
like Afghanistan and Iran. I don't know how Illinois Everbearing
(alba/rubra cross?) compares for drying. M. nigra is reported not
hardy in zone 5.

I know people who like some weeping mulberries for fruit, but they don't
have much knowledge of mulberries. I suggest that if you want a mulberry
for fruit, you get one that was selected for its fruit quality.
