I very much doubt it's available here in Canada, in the winter. I chose
to make a substitution of one red, tart-flavoured berry for another,
based on the lack of known availability of the exact thing. If someone
shows me where I can get real barberries (or Oregon grapes) in Ottawa
within the next 6 weeks at a reasonable price, I'll happily substitute.
Failing that, I'll go with the best I can manage. And if you don't like
it, then you don't have to eat it.
Yours,
Katherine
