does anyone recognize this fruit
It's a cashew -
The seed is surrounded by a double shell containing a dermatogenic phenolic resin, urushiol, a potent skin irritant toxin also found in the related poison ivy. Some people are allergic to cashew nuts, but cashews are a less frequent allergen than nuts or peanuts.

he has this one and a yellow one. they fruit are kind of tart and oily on the outside but it sure makes a good wine.
The fruit portion is the stem (the fat part) and it taste great! you will never find this one in the store ( the fuit will not ship) And yes the bottom portion is a cashew( roast it before you eat it.
Never would have guessed that.
