Thanks! I think we have an answer
Location?
Central Florida
Ximenia americana looks to be a good match visually and geographically, though I’m unfamiliar with it. The size and seasonality of the fruit make me skeptical of citrus.

Try breaking a leaf off and crush it and see how it smells. Most citrus trees have a strong citrus scent. Kinda looks like a super smooth lemon though.
