your pickie.

They're not berries, they're damsons!
I would have said sloes, a quick taste will determine (if sloes it will feel
as if all your teeth are being sandpapered!)

Aren't they a bit big for sloes, bearing in mind the coin on the photo
for scale?
If they're damson, don't bother making anything other than jam with
them - the jam is divine.

I make damson gin with ours - it is fantastic and very alcoholic. Much more
fun than jam!

They're damsons.

I have both, I thought the damsons were enormous sloes, but they're not.
Also the leaf is wrong for a sloe.
