All:
Being the frugal cook that I am, here is my typical use of harvested fruit.
I'll use sand plums as an example.
1. Eat the fresh fruit, if it's not too sour
2. Stew the fruit with a bit of water. Then drain through
cheesecloth-lined colander. Use clear broth for jelly.
3. Mash the fruit through a food mill. Make jam or butter out of the
resulting pulp.
4. If there's not enough jelly broth, add other fruit juice or water to
make the right amount for your recipe, or mix with leftover pulp to make a
thinner jam.
Last year I ended up with beautiful sand plum jelly, sand plum jam,
peach-plum jam, sand plum-apple jelly. (I do cheat and use commercial
pectin, sorry...) All I threw away was the skins and seeds!

I believe the use of multiple pressings also extends to grapes.
Why wouldn't this be true for fruits, too? The fruit gets pressed
and the juice gets used for something, jelly? and then the resulting
mush its used for something else. I don't remember exactly what goes
into jellies as it has been years since I made any. Perhaps the juice
and some of the pulp goes in the preserves and the rest of the juice
is fermented? Either way, I doubt the entire produce of the manor
needed to go into preserves. And if you don't do something with the
fruit, its going to spoil. Sometimes quickly depending upon the fruit.
