Every summer since I live in the countryside. Jam, compote and pickles (I hate pickles though).
I used to make jam with my family every year when I lived in the countryside.
i've made filipino atchara (shredded unripe green papayas and carrots) and pickled cauliflower (for some reason i'm not a huge fan of cauliflower, but i love them pickled)
the closest thing i've make to jams have been savory jams/chutneys.
oh i've also made pickled red onions. they're great on sandwiches bc i hate regular raw onions (except green onions).
No, I didn't even know that pickled eggplant is a thing. My family made pickled watermelon (the whole fruit) but I hate every kind of pickled vegetable, regardless if it's made with vinegar or salted water. 
this reminds me, do you know how my mum makes sour cabbage for the winter?
It's Kimchi without spice, something we Romanians do. But the germans call it Sauerkraut? I think.
She doesn't bother with measurements.
Buy 1 kilo of coarse salt for every ten kilos of cabbage.
Then stuff that sh.. into a barrel and let it cook by itself.
She's a savage.

I asked my mom for measurements for a specific stew and she was like eyeball it

to this day I have no idea how my mum cooks.
Baking? Yes, she has that down to a science with measuring and so on.
And it tastes amazing. I've made quite a lot of her recipes but it's nowhere near even if I measure it perfectly.
But cooking? She knows it by smell alone, by color alone.
I wish I would have inherited her talent.
But I guess it skips a generation.
I've made jam before with my family.
another fav of mine is watermelon skin
yes but we just eat the watermelon skin (stir fry mostly) rather than pickle them...
