The bearberries (kinnikinnick) resembles the cranberry but the fruit is mealy and tasteless.
The bunchberry (dwarf dogwood) is a bright red berry which grows in bunches, pithy and tasteless, and best combined with tart berries. New Englanders called it puddingberry and use it in puddings or dumplings.
The crowberry is a black berry that grows on trailing, fern-like vines. Use like the blueberry, it is nice in pie. For jelly use commercial pectin recipe. It can be combined with the blueberry or lingenberry for jelly.
