Your speculation leads me to comment that a popular use nowadays is as "fruits of the forest" - either in yoghurts or in the desert "Eton Mess". 0.5 bonus
Tell you what you don't see much of these days: gooseberry jam. After a "fruitless" search of 2-3 years I finally turned up a supplier. She calls herself The Jam Lady and I bought 3 jars off her at the Ifield Village May Fair a year ago. If as seems likely this year's is cancelled (sob !) I'll have to put in a direct order:
9 Leics yes, Derbys yes, Lincs no.....1pt, The third one for a half point, anyone ? Quoting Wiki............................

5) Think raspberry is right but sure it is a dewberry 0.5pt for the alternative dewberry:
Blackberries are slightly sweeter and less acidic than dewberries; dewberries are larger but usually ripen a week to 10 sooner than blackberries.

9) would guess at Notts as close border Yes, Notts for 0.5pt. For a cheesy link, the Stilton counties seem to have an association with the Danelaw, which could be what was at the back of Barbelman's mind........ Derby, Leicester, Nottingham and add Lincoln and Stamford.
