It does kinda look like gooseberries. If they are they are edible. They are used for flavoring alcohol, making wine and jam. They are highly susceptible to mildew and are frequently avoided because of that.

I dont think that's it. the tree is 30' high and from the brief discription I read on gooseberries they dont grow that large.

There is a fruit thingy called a Canapa (sp??) in Puerto Rico That looks very similar. They are not bitter though, well the skin is but the inside is kind of sweet. I didn't much like them. The texture of the inside was gross, kind of like snot. ewwww. Does it fit the bill???
I did a spelling search & didn't find it, I also did a web search with my spelling & didn't find it either. I'll ask my wife to see if I have it wrong. She liked them so maybe she'll remember better than me. lol
I'll let you know.

First I thought it was a species of Longon, which has a variety of species, but it might also we a wampi. Both are known to be in Florida, althought not well know
Try this link which has alot of tropical fruit photo's on a nice poster. Wampi is all the way at the bottom.
It the rind a hard or a soft one?
