thimbleberries
Soft red drupelets
Thimbleberries are the fruit of a North American shrub related to raspberries.
The soft, red berries have a hollow, thimble-like shape and a delicate flavor that doesn't travel well, making them prized for foraging but rarely sold commercially: We picked thimbleberries along the trail.
