Aunt Molly's Ground Cherries
The last 3 years, or so, I have had Aunt Molly's Ground Cherries pop up as volunteers. I planted them once as a curiosity and then they just kept coming back. Now, my husband is growing them in his garden too. This is the first year that we've had enough to do anything with. Does anyone make things out of ground cherries? (AKA Cape Gooseberries, or Poha berries.) Please share your ideas! Thanks.
