cloudberry

n.
A creeping perennial herb (Rubus chamaemorus) in the rose family, native to northern regions of North America and Eurasia and having white flowers and edible yellowish fruit.

An orange-yellow fruit resembling the raspberry in shape; Rubus chamaemorus, known as avron in Scotland, and baked-apple berry in Canada. It is an extremely rich natural source of benzoic acid and will not ferment; it remains fresh for many months without preservation.

Found in northern climes such as New England, Canada and Scandinavia, the cloudberry looks like an amber-colored version of the raspberry to which it's related. The berries are too tart for out-of-hand eating but make excellent jam. Cloudberries are usually wild and therefore hard to find in markets. Other names for this fruit include bake-apple berry, yellow berry and mountain berry.
