Haven’t come across Arubtus enudo, or if I have, haven’t recognized it. Where do you live? The prickly fruits above are wild gooseberry, related to currants. You can, carefully, eat them raw, they taste like the nonprickly variety. They would likely be a good diet food, as the stress and occasional blood loss that comes with dealing with the spines likely offsets any caloric intake. I usually don’t come across enough for pies/jams, but am told the spines soften with cooking.
