Richard,
Here are links to photos of Duhat and Java Plum:

UF/IFAS Okeechobee Extension Service - Java Plum or Jambolan

It is possible that what you have tasted is the June Plum or the Ambarella (Spondias Chyteria, Spondias Dulcis):
http://www.tntisland.com/images/juneplum.jpg. It is similar and related to the Hog Plum (Spondias Mombin), but is much bigger than the latter. They both have single seeds, but the Hog Plum has a round seed section while the June Plum has star shaped seed section, as the photo shows.
