I have enjoyed a rice dish for many years prepared by 
Iranian friends that has little raisin-like fruit 
called "Zereshk".  Only recently did I discover that 
these raisins are from Berberis aristata.  At the 
bottom of the following webpage is a reference to 
this dried fruit product:

I would be interested in hearing about anyone growing 
barberries in North America for fruit.
