Looks like a wineberry to me. It was brought here from Asia but is now escaped into the landscape and is considered an invasive where I live.

They look like wild grapes. We used to make the best jam from them when I lived in Kansas many years ago.There was a small river and they grew along a fence line. I am no expert, so you should not eat them until someone tells you for sure. If they are wild grapes, lucky you! Maybe a neighbor would know, and others on gardenweb have more experience with wild berries than me.

Thanks everyone. They grow in my backyard and they look cultivated. They don't have thorns or anything like that. I don't have pictures of berries but if you know how red currants look like they are very close to it. May be it is some sort of hybrid of red currants and something else? I wouldn't eat them if they were wild but I assumed they were part of edible landscape the previous owners had.

As bboy said, more pictures might help. Also, can you tell us if the leaves are opposite one another on the stem or alternate? Are the back of the leaves a silver color? I agree it could be Elaeagnus if it is not honeysuckle. How big is the plant, are there any others in the area?

Solanum sp. or other nightshade family plant. These are asked about frequently, although I am not sure I have seen this particular one before.

Oh yeah! Absolutely good to eat. Wait until they're plump and red. When I was a kid, my sister and I used to pick them out on the edge of the field and make pies. Even ripe, they are slightly tart. Delicious!
