can you identify this fruit/tree
 

i have a tree that has alot of bright red fruit on it each year

http://65.35.65.115:81/garden.html

can you identify it? the fruit almost looks like a pumpkin shaped cherry.

i was told by a local guy that it was some sort of oriental cherry, in fact,
he picked some and ate them.

if this is true, can i treat them like regular cherries? fully edible and
used in cooking?

thnx for any info..

She ends up picking the ones off of a couple of small trees
in my yard and making a few jars at a time and gives one to
us. It's a very delicate taste, very pale jelly. The taste
reminds me of apple butter with just a hint of a cherry
undertaste. :)
