I know these aren't going to be even close to blueberries for instance but I just have no patience for berries that grow on shrubs such as true huckleberries/gooseberries (Groseilles and Groseilles ŕ maquereaux) or blueberries...
Have to pick garden Huckleberries when they are ripe ( they turn from gloss purple to a flat purple/grey) they need to be cooked with lots of sugar.
