Thanks.  If these continue to bear in future years, cooking trials are next. 
 This year only about 4 yogurt containers.  Fun to take to relatives who 
know that this is the "first fruit ever" from the "yellow honeysuckle" 
salvaged from an old house site.

I have a USDA Yearbook of Agriculture that described new fruits and it talks 
about the Crandall and how it was commonly grown from seed by many 
nurserymen, so apparently it comes quite true from seed.

Tanis,
We have a cultivar of clove currant, "Crandall", and the seedlings
coming up around the yard are indistinguishable from the mother plant,
at least here.

Have you tried cooking any of the fruit, even a few? In our
estimation, Crandall improves quite a bit upon slight cooking.
