Do thimbleberries count? Not sure how local they are to me, but they're so tasty. Think a sweeter, more fragile raspberry. They make an excellent jam! my only complaint I have is how fragile they are, they only last a day or two in the fridge

Chokecherry These make your mouth feel furry inside if you eat them, but make the best syrup for pancakes
I'd also like to mention Sapota.
Honorary mention to Grewia asiatica and Syzygium.
I don't see it mentioned so maybe it's not lesser known, but jackfruit is amazing. SEA like most amazing fruit but have seen it more often in North America. Fresh, not the prepped and sauced vegan style.
So not in my area, but I recently discovered cloudberry jam, which is absolutely delicious. It's like a mix of citrus and strawberry.
Jujubes. They're like a dryer sweeter small apple. They don't need a lot to grow where I am and there's hundreds per tree.

Maypops, which are a north american species of passionfruit. Obviously not a great hand fruit.
0: I have never heard of these! Do they taste the same or?
I wouldn't say exactly, but a similar profile. Like two different varieties of apple taste the same but different.
Persimmons. Have a full size tree about to drop maybe 40 pounds of them. And I have no idea what to do with that many.
Since huckleberries were already mentioned, I'll go for salal berries. Taste like flowery blueberries and make an amazing sauce, especially if you mix them with huckleberries.
Gooseberries are found in several traditional recipes from southern Netherlands, but most supermarkets no longer carry the fruit.
Arum is an incredbibly underrated veg too, with an amazing texture.
