Shades', have you used the berries for Jelly?
My gardening neighbor did that. He grew up in a family with a commercial orchard on Lake Chelan.

Never have a chance to pick berries from the mahonia the deer and birds always beat me to it.
Jelly sounds different.

2025 has become "Ducks the 'garden lurker' ".
EVERYBODY has beautiful pictures of their harvests, or to be harvests.
SO.Jelly!!
I had to scoop out the ONE pepper I started from seed bc I had it in an old horse water bucket, NO drainage, and the recent rains had filled it up, so it was trying to drown.
I will try transplanting it to something With drainage this weekend. It's still only 6 inches tall and I am thinking it might be a good candidate for winterizing.
I guess I've learned a LOT about container gardening this year.
I have 7 hot peppers happily growing and producing in my whiskey barrel container.
The 6 (or 7) tomatoes and 5 hot peppers in the old horse trough look very good, and some fruit.
Ironically (for newbies) I probably have the largest growing space here.
I have to be patient for a few more weeks and then I get to:
1) mow
2) weed
..repeat, repeat, repeat...
Until the end of the season in November.
Container gardening can be done successfully with little maintenance for future reference...
OH, GSD puppies in two weeks.
