Has anyone come across ricklingberries (possibly in Norfolk?)

buildersdaughter

A challenge from a neighbour, who was asked about these by an acquaintance who was an evacuee in Norfolk during WW2. He remembers 'ricklingberry jam'.
I have checked the spelling, but of course, he may not have the correct one. I also wondered if it was a word used to describe wartime jam that sometimes had things like swede and beetroot or sugar beet added to hedgerow fruit . Rather like my mother would describe some left-over cake, pie, or bread&jam, smothered in custard as 'ifit pudding'.
Google doesn't help. I think he should contact the county archives, but thought it might be fun to ask knowledgeable folk here.

My family used be in Norwich/Thetford around WWII, but my hunch is the following:- They mean Rykneld Street

Therefore it's a hedgerow jam of sorts

That is brilliant! It has the air of being spot-on. What a lovely forum this is!

It only occurred to me as an old friend used to live on the A38 (Rykneld Street) and channelled my inner Frank Muir from there
