Help me identify these berries..

[Restlessinthenorth]

These berries have come off a bush in my garden. Hard to pick as big spikes on the bush! They taste delicious but I have no idea what they are (or if they are poisonous!). Can anyone help identify them?

Blackcurrants?

Post pictures of the bush and the leaves, those berries could be anything.

Red gooseberries?

Those are blackcurrants. Best in jam or in a pie. Or gin or vodka.

Actually I could be mistaken - could be red gooseberries if there are horrid spikes. Do they taste sour? How big are they?

Blackcurrants.

They look like gooseberries

Can you put one next to a coin so we can see the size .

They could be blackberries or Sloe berries , Sole bushes have spikes about a inch long and are lethally sharp ! and unless the berries are very ripe they are as sour as buggery

Possibly josterberries, blackcurrant crossed with gooseberry I think.

Blackcurrants don't have thorns.

They look like red gooseberries.

Need to know size and leaf.

Those are blackcurrants - or possibly jostaberries. If you have too many they are easy to make jam with or you can freeze for smoothies etc.

I think red gooseberries may well be right! I've gone out for the evening but will post a photo tomorrow

They taste sweet (almost like a blueberry) but have a bit of a sour taste at the end

Blackcurrants don’t have thorns.

They look like blackcurrants but they don't have thorns on them.

THOSE ARE NIGHTLOCK, PEETA! YOU'LL BE DEAD IN A MINUTE!

Just seen you've eaten some. I should clarify that was a joke, in case you didn't get the Hunger Games reference

Although OP hasn't been back for a while, so maybe they were nightlock.

You really shouldn't eat berries or plants unless you know for definite what they are. Lots of plants and berries are poisonous.

Is the bush has thrones they will be red gooseberries. If not they are probably jostaberries. From your description of tasting like a blueberry I'd say probably a jostaberry. I have one of these bushes and I loves the berries! They make an amazin crumble. 🙂

I'm not dead folks, thanks for the concern! Pretty certain they are red gooseberries....crumble incoming! Thanks for all the advice
