It looks like Mahonia aquifolium. Apparently, people make jam from
the berries. I've never tried that, so this is 'at your own risk' and
not a recommendation!

Mahonia aquifolium or Oregon Grape
The small purplish-black fruits, which are quite tart and contain
large seeds, are included in smaller quantities in the traditional
diets of Pacific Northwest aboriginal peoples, mixed with Salal or
another sweeter fruit. Today they are sometimes used to make jelly,
alone or mixed with salal Oregon grape juice can be fermented to make
wine, similar to European barberry wine folk traditions, although it
requires an unusually high amount of sugar

oregon grape.
