Default ID on bottled Chinese fruit

I agree about the possibility of it being a pome. But any hawthorn I
have seen in Europe and Australia has fruits the size of a pea - not
an olive.

It tastes almost exactly like the European gooseberry Ribes
uva-crispa, but clearly is not.

The fruit is the size of an olive and, as the photo shows, seems to
have had a stone removed.

It is a product of China.
