Try chokecherries.
Someday. I'm always worried my non-poisonous berry identification skills aren't up to par though.
Chokecherries are not poisonous. They are very astringent and make superb wine, jelly and syrup. I can never harvest any because the birds get them before I do. They will let the yellow chokecherries get ripe enough for me to pick. The yellow ones are not as astringent as the black ones.
To help in your ID, chokecherries have a pit just like a regular cherry does. They grow on a cluster where regular cherries grow as single units.

I believe my neighbor has giving me some of that at one time. She makes it from rose hips also. All things most people would never use. She is very into natural living on all things in nature. I'm just the lucky one that gets to eat them all.
@Bantambird does the rose hips.

Apparently, the seeds contain amygdalin. I've swallowed cherry pits before though, amygdalin isn't bad for you unless you eat a lot of it. (I've eaten a peach pit before.)

You are supposed to spit the seeds out.
Peach pits and apricot pits like apple seeds can contain cyanide.

Nice to see that there are still some folks out there that still use all that nature gives us so much of that is lost this day in age. If it isn't on store shelves most have never heard of such things.
