I just ate the one in the lower right whose stem is touching the biggest one. It was delicious. Well-ripened, too. Very satisfying. Small black seeds. Winter-type skin. I cut it open to make sure it was red, since it looked a lot like Red-seeded Citron, but it doesn't seem to be a cross with it, by the pink look, sweet taste, and penetrable texture of the interior.
