Well, there is no pic, but from the brief description I would guess maybe a persimmon?

I do not believe it is  persimmon. I have seen them before and the name escapes me. I will tell you there are no edible tomato looking wild vines in the lower 48. In some states they have nightshade and that is poisonous.

Hmm, now that there is a pic there is no way that it is a persimmon.  No idea what that one is.

Curious. Is that a woody stem?
