I have several nannyberries and cannot add to what you have said.

Subject: [NAFEX] Viburnum lentago
Rob Hamilton asked about the fruit of Viburnum lentago (nannyberry in
Ontario, sheepberry with him) on December 4th.
My limited experience here in southern Ontario is that the fruit is
similar to a small gooseberry in size, elongated oval in shape, black, has
one relatively large seed, with flesh of a mild somewhat datelike flavour
but much less dense than dates. It become even softer after frost. Not a
whole lot of flavour. Nothing special but quite edible.
