Can help me?

As I walked the Camino Aragones this summer I often saw next to the trail a small blue fruit growing wild. It looks a bit like a blueberry except a brighter blue. I sometimes pick and eat wild blackberries as I walk as a nice snack but I wasn't sure about the bright blue fruit and so I didn't try eating it. I did squash one between my fingers so that I could smell it and it was sticky on my fingers, unlike a blueberry.

Do you know what this fruit is and is it okay to eat it?

My friend from Zaragoza sent me this:


Endrino ....we use that fruit to elaborate Pacharán

If it’s the same, they make preserves and a liquor from it.

Consume at your own risk.

Thank you.

From Endrino I found this:
"Blackthorn berries are edible, but they are really tart if eaten raw, so you'd better use them cooked"

Never underestimate the ability of humans to take something too tart and inedible and make it into alcohol!

Sloe gin in the UK is made by soaking the blackthorn berries in gin. They are a relative of plums.
