I would guess at a fig too, though a leaf that goes with it would help id it.

I can see why you would say that as some fig species do look like this but I think it could be an immature Japanese Quince fruit (Chaenomeles).

either way fractal we need the leaf/stem in context dont we :o)

It's just I have seen the young fruit with these white dots all over them. These disappear later as they mature.

Quince fruit is yellow when it is ripe which will not be for another month or more.
