Likely sweet, going by the fact that the people of Weld them into preserves, which is a type of jam. Well, actually it's mostly just the fruit cut into pieces or chunk, where most of the fruit if not all of it is used, and then it is placed in a syrup or gel. Marmalade is a preserve with citrus fruits. Of course syrup is also sweet... but I wouldn't expect them to put a non-sweet fruit into a sweet syrup. Seems kind of silly.

EDIT: They're sweet. From The Golden Door: "The fruit on the bell tree ripened. Rye picked the juicy yellow bells, Lisbeth preserved them, and the pantry filled with jars of golden sweetness."
