Turk's cap fruit

I had no idea Turk's caps make fruit! Looks like a tiny tomato.

 I found the taste faintly of watermelon close to the rind with the fresh, clean finish of cucumber. The fruit has 3 sections, each with a relatively large seed inside covered with crumbly white flesh. I didn't expect the seeds to be sharp. It would take a LOT to make a preserve or tea, but I may try if I find a whole bunch.
