Do You Recognized the Fruit?

I'm not certain if most of you have seen or tasted the fruit in the photo. And pardon me because it's not a nice looking photo though. It's a tropical fruit and common in the Philippines and other parts of Southeast Asia. It is a seasonal fruit and not available the whole year round. Actually, the fruit is red or yellow when ripe. We call this "rambutan" here and pardon me again if I can't give you the English equivalent. I thought it's Lychee. They are almost similar but two different fruits. Lychee's skin is not hairy. The fruit is sweet and has seed in the middle. So why it turned to black? The one in the photo are dried and hardened fruit already. I just let it there hanging for over a year. I purchased that with other group of fruits on December 2018. After a week of not being eaten, the fruits begin to darken so we no longer eat it until it became totally withered. I just hang it there as decorative because the fruit did not separate from its twigs.
