Ground Cherries are closely related to tomatillos (we had both in the last share). It’s much more obvious with their husks on, but we’ve already de-husked them for you to make them easy to snack on or ready for use. I haven’t tried it, but a CSA Club member mentioned making jam with them which sounds delicious.
These are sometimes called cape gooseberries, but gooseberries are something entirely different. If you’ve ever had ground cherries before, their characteristic tartness is probably what you think of. These ones from Nichols are absent of that tartness, and because of that notes of cotton candy and vanilla are noticeable. They sort of remind us of cream soda.
