  Unlike the black, white and green, the
     pink really aren't peppercorns, but they are called so
     because of their size and flavor.  ..."

I don't know whether they're related to poison ivy or not, but I
can say they are quite tasty when added to a peppercorn blend in
a peppermill for grinding fresh onto whatever suits yer fancy.


There is also a "spice" used in middle-eastern cooking, a dried pink to
brick-red or even purple berry that looks much the same as these
"peppercorns" .
Sumac  is the name and it is  only distantly  related to poison sumac
that grows wild in the U.S.

These have a lemony, fruity, sour flavor.
