Ingredients

Directions

  1. Dash of salt 2 1/2 c Ground cherries; husked 2 tb Butter "Ground cherries grow wild on low bushy plants along uncut country roadsides and in uncultivated fields.
  2. They are especially prolific in the Mississippi Valley.
  3. The fruit goes by several regional names: husk tomatoes, chew cherries, strawberry tomatoes, or winter cherries.
  4. The ground cherry plant is the first cousin to the ornamental Japanese lantern, which it resembles.
  5. The firm fruit, which is nestled in a husk, is about the size of a cherry and looks like a green tomato, though the color varies from green to yellow to red.
  6. To me, it also resembles a tiny Mexican tomatilla.
  7. Its flavor has been likened to tomatoes and strawberries, and the fruit is most commonly used in pie, though I have also eaten it in chili sauce and jam.
  8. I see ground cherries occasionally at farmer's markets around the country."
  9. Line a 9-inch pie pan with pastry and
  10. set aside.
