This appears to be a bacterial or fungal infection.

There will, likely, be some issues with the leaves as well. A fungicide will be necessary to clear up the disease. The fruit will still be edible, but will be unsightly.

Make sure the soil gets a chance to dry out very thoroughly, down to about 4 inches between watering. These plants are quite drought tolerant, but will not tolerate wet soils. Underwatering will be much preferred to overwatering.
