Strange Fruit

Another barely-relevant question:
A (Russian) friend of mine gave me several dark-orange (nearly-red) fruits from a Polish shop somewhere around here. They looked almost exactly like tomatoes (to me), but when eaten, they were extremely soft, juicy, and were somewhat sweet. They were quite good. She told me that they were a common fruit in Russia and Eastern Europe. I've never seen such a fruit before in my entire life-- though I've heard second-hand that they even grow in South America.
What is their name in English, or Russian?
