Persimmons

The tomato-shaped orange fruits in your bags today are Fuyu Persimmons.  They can be eaten hard as they are now, or allowed to ripen/soften on your counter, in which case they'll become more sweet.

I've never had them before - I tried one today and I thought it tasted a little bit like an apple-banana-pear-nectarine mix, only very mild.  I think I'd like to see how they taste after ripening a bit.      Sounds like they would be good for jam or smoothies.  I diced some and ate it atop my Chow Mein tonight, and I liked that better than eating it alone. Let me know what you try!
