GROUND CHERRY PIE
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!

FRESH CHERRY PIE
If you're looking to learn how to make a cherry pie, this recipe is the place to start. This ruby-red cherry pie is just sweet enough, with a hint of almond flavor and a good level of cinnamon. The cherries peeking out of the lattice crust makes it so pretty, too. I like to make a few of these cherry pies throughout the summer. -Josie Bochek, Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin

GROUND CHERRY PIE
Ground Cherry, a.k.a. Husk Tomato, is an orange fruit similar in size and shape to a cherry tomato which grows wild on a low bushy plant. It is close kin to the tomatillo, with the fruit being covered in papery husk. Flavor is a pleasant, unique tomato /pineapple like blend. The ground cherry is very similar to the cape gooseberry, both having similar, but unique flavors. Uses are similar to common tomato. Can be eaten raw, used in salads, desserts, as a flavoring, and in jams and jellies. Fruits are excellent when dipped in chocolate, and can be dried and eaten. Cooking time approximate. From the Mississippi Valley chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947.

Nutrition Facts :
Tips:
- Select ripe ground cherries: Choose plump, firm, and brightly colored ground cherries for the best flavor and texture in your pie.
- Prepare the crust in advance: To save time, make the pie crust ahead of time and refrigerate it until ready to use. This will allow the dough to rest and become easier to work with.
- Use a food processor to speed up the process: If you have a food processor, use it to quickly chop the ground cherries and combine them with the other filling ingredients.
- Don't overfill the pie crust: Be careful not to overfill the pie crust, as this can cause the filling to bubble over during baking.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: Keep an eye on the pie while it's baking and remove it from the oven once the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the pie cool before serving: Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
