What can you do with Sharon Fruit? My mother in law saw some at a market but she originally thought it was beef tomatoes but didn't buy any. We are curious about how they are eaten?

Take off the leaves and slice it for use in fruit salads - tastes a bit like a plum, maybe a wee bit bit sweeter.
scoff them like apples, they are delicious. Make sure that they actually are sharon fruit, they were bred from a thing called a persimmon, which is full of tannin and disgusting until overripe. The neat thing about sharon fruit is that they are sweet, delicious and sliceable when firm, as they ripen they get pulpier and spponable out of the skin but stay as sweet and delicious
It's an exotic fruit that like Papaya, Passion and Kumquat can be bought almost anywhere. I don't know whether brawburd or woofgang would agree but it's something that you will either love or hate. The first one will seem like a heavenly kind of apple - but they're very very sweet and crunchy, and can also taste a bit cloying having no sharpness, so don't do what I did and eat them too often....!!
Sharon is a seedless persimmon named for the Sharon Valley. I don't like eating it as an "apple" or as a dessert fruit, but love it with starfruit and such in undressed salads. Now, what on earth is a beef tomato?
a beef tomato is an over-sized tomato (about the size of a fist)
.....used for salads and great for stuffing - if you have the patience to stuff a tomato!!
So, would a beef tomator have the same "innards" (and taste and smell) as a normal tomato?
Cetti, yes - I do agree. That's why I use them in fruit salads, with some sharper fruits to balance it all out.
Yes, and no Janetex - they are very big boys, measuring about 4in across, but the taste of the best variety (Marmande) is far superior to the dreadful tasteless red lumps supermarkets will have us buy. Best used in salads, sandwiches - and stuffed.

My apology to ianria for cross posting.

Aha, yum. I do love tasty tomatoes.
