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!

Tips:

  • To easily remove the ground cherries from their husks, place them in a colander and pour boiling water over them. Let them sit for a minute or two, then rinse them with cold water. The husks will slip right off.
  • If you don't have a pie crust, you can use a pre-made one from the store. Just be sure to thaw it according to the package directions.
  • To prevent the pie filling from bubbling over, place a baking sheet on the rack below the pie before baking.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and the crust to firm up.

Conclusion:

Ground cherry pie is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a new dessert to try, give ground cherry pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
