Orange berry on a dessert
 

Was out for a meal last night, one of the desserts was garnished with a bitter tasting shiny orange berry about the size of a cherry which had a few withered leaves attached to it.

Does anyone know what these are called. No one at the table could recall although they had hard its name before. Its doing my head in, cos we are still trying to work it out.
