The message
from "Tracey" contains these words:

Yes, sorry, should have said they are garden huckleberries. The one I
sampled was so bitter I had to spit it out - yuck, it was horrid!

Bitter? Even an unripe one should be no more bitter than an unripe
tomato. When ripe, the fruit are squishy and sweet, with a flavour
slightly reminiscent of not a lot.

I won't be growing them again...

They make a rather bland wine of extraordinary colour. Worth growing
just for the table decoration!

My step-mum who gave me the plants told me yesterday that I should let the
frost get to them before using as this will make them less bitter. Any
thoughts?

The wine idea sounds good!
