Ground cherries, also known as husk cherries, look a little like a tomatillo. They produce an orange-ish fruit that tastes somewhere between a tomato and pineapple.

  3. Farmer Lisa REVIEW:

    I grew husk cherries for the first time this year, and had never eaten them before. We were pleasantly surprised at these tasty little fruits, and I searched for recipes to make with them. This jam is delicious! Very easy to make, esp. if you have some jam-making experience. The only thing I did a little different was leave some of the fruits un-processed...as they cooked I smashed them with the spoon; we like some chunks in our jam. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
