MK Same here. A nice addition to breaded chicken over here
MK is red whortleberry sauce. (It's similar to cranberry).

MK It's called "Preiselbeere" over here. Small, red and sour.
MK It's in the same family as the blueberry and there are
MK hybrids of those plants.

MK Here you can see pictures of it. It's also used with deer,
MK fowl, etc.

Thanks, it's definitely different from the cloudberry, which is
a relative of the blackberry (Rubus family). I've actually seen
the pink cloudberry growing while I was hiking in the Scottish
mountains.
