Probably not quite ripe. Are you sure it was a blueberry?  :shock:

The berries need to be a full dark bluish colour with a small 'bloom' of grey to be ready. The plant grows only in acidic soil, so yes, the taste is a bit sharp and only slightly sweet yet tasty all at the same time. If it's ever sour tasting, then something is wrong.

Acid or sweet quince. Are the sweet quinces as good?
