Do you have cloud berries in the US??? Or is it just an >>>

Not positive, but I don't think we have them here. Met a woman this summer whose family goes back to

(I think) Norway every summer to harvest and sell the berries that grow on a family-owned island. I'm pretty sure she called them cloud berries, I could be remembering wrong.

 
Are they on a short bush sort of like lingonberrys? AngAk and I were talking about them---

Small red sort of tart, but yummy--in the Interior they are called bear berries and out the chain snow berries. But somehow I recollect someone calling them cloud berries? They aren't this far south, we are Lat. 55 deg. 20'.

 
i picked some in the nwt - had to find just the right spot, open, damp hillside, and catch them at

just the right time of ripening - too ripe and they're really horrible, but when you hit them right on they truly are divine. think they were known as 'ukpiks' or something similar. had a cloudberry liquer from up north - very easy to drink! oh, now i miss the tundra in the fall...such a short but intensely beautiful season. i kinda envy you folks up north!

 
YES. Those are our Salmon Berries. We had them on the tundra in Nome.

Don't have them here in Anchorage. They were not my favorite berry though. A bit too seedy for me. That's just how they grow on the tundra here. Up on stems so they look like they are floating on air.
