Other: Ground Cherries are a sweet fruit that grow like a tomato and have a papery husk like a Tomatillo. The fruit is similar in size and shape to a cherry tomato, and they also have the texture of a tomato. Taste descriptions vary from strawberry-like, to mixtures of citrus or tomato and pineapple. Originating from Central & South America, they are easy to grow and tolerant of poor soils. These plants are suitable for container gardens and offer a myriad of culinary uses. Ground Cherries can be eaten raw, used in salads, jams, pies and many other desserts, in salsa, as a topping or flavoring. They can also be dried for later use, like raisins, or frozen, maintaining quality for up in to six months when stored in their husks.
