These fruits are featured in "The Witches of Eastwick". The "Devil" (Jack Nicholson) cuts into one during a scene. Had everybody wondering what they were as they were quite dark in color.

I grew one some years ago but lost it, either during winter "storage" or something. Don't remember, but I never saw fruits. Now, I know why.
