We have one tree in our garden really teeming with fruits. It would be a waste if I will just throw some in the waste bin. Please help.

In the Visayas, Philippines, we have both. They may come from the same family but are definitely two different fruits. Makopa has a smoother skin while Tambis'shallow furrows are more pronounced. Makopa's fruit is finer but has a faint tart taste. Tambis fruit is coarser & no tartness. Makopa has a deeper red color. Tambis is lighter like pinkish red. Tambis & Makopa are not the same fruits!

Makopa is the one which is dark red and starchy when ripe. Tambis is the one which is pink when ripe, white when unripe and is rather crunchy when bitten. However, these fruits belong to one genus, Syzygium, and different species (which I am not sure of...) FYI, makopa and tambis are two different fruits.
