And are these garden huckleberries the same as tomatillas or just a
relative? All best wishes, Karen Karen

Another site says they are a relative of the tomato. (Solanum melanocerasum) Native to the tropics of western Africa. Sprawling 3-4' branched plants produce hundreds of round ?-?" shiny black berries in clusters. Best when picked after berries turn from glossy to dull black. Tasteless when raw and unsweetened, but makes delicious mock blueberry pies and preserves. Use about 1 pound of berries to ? cup of sugar for best flavor. Good for freezing and canning. It is a common misunderstanding that Garden Huckleberries are poisonous. Garden Huckleberries are not poisonous! Even after countless studies have proven their safety, some garden writers still insist that gardeners are being terribly misled. That's understandable, because tomatoes were formerly thought to be poisonous too! 75-80 days from transplant.

The best test is to taste them. If they are sour, they aren't ripe yet. They should be a nice sweet/tangy. They shouldn't be hard, but they don't get as soft as blueberries.
