GROUND CHERRY PIE



Ground Cherry Pie image

We bought ground cherries at our local farmer's market last weekend...They looked so interesting and had such a unique taste. After searching and searching, I found a few recipes for ground cherry pie. This combines the best of a few different recipes. We didn't have quite enough ground cherries to make a large pie, so I used a silicone cupcake mold and made mini pies. Delicious served alone or with icecream!

GROUND CHERRY PIE

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... I think it also resembles a Mexican tomatilla..you will need pastry for a 2 crust 9" pie
