Plant / fruit / berry ID

I saw this red fruit growing in the forest descending into Zig Zag Canyon earlier this week. They look like small cherry tomatoes growing below the stems and leaves. What are they? Sorry about the poor picture quality.

Twisted-stalk (Streptopus amplexifolius). The July/August berries are more conspicuous than the June/July flowers.
