Can anyone please identify this plant?

It's a vine. It produces a small orange-colored "fruit" that is 2" long.

After a few days, the fruit splits open, to release some seeds that look like red kernels of corn.

It's not citric, and it has no smell. It likes full sunlight. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

    Probably balsam-pear, also known as bitter gourd, Latin name momordica charantia.

    Source(s): I googled 'vine with yellow fruit', and there it was.
