Default ID on bottled fruit

Richard Wright said:

Can somebody who is into growing exotic edible fruits please identify
the fruit contained in the bottle illustrated at

http://www.box.net/public/static/490zvq1gf6.jpg

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.


Chinese haw is about 1 inch in diameter. Big enough?

Mume (a type of apricot/plum) is probably too big.

If you *do* find out what the fruit is, please post. I hate unsolved
mysteries.
