These are Nectar hybrid berries (similar to boysenberries) grown by Randy Pudwill in Nipomo and sold at the Santa Monica farmers market. Nectar (Nectarberry) was originated by Howard G. Benedict in El Monte and introduced in 1937. It is said to have been a seedling of Young, but thought by many to be a chimera of Boysen, which it resembles. The fruit is larger than Boysen, and many claim the berry is sweeter.
