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



Ground Cherry Pie image

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.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe ground cherries: Look for plump, firm berries with a golden-orange hue. Avoid any that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Prepare the ground cherries: Rinse the berries thoroughly and remove the husks. You can use a paring knife to carefully slit the husk and then squeeze out the berry. Alternatively, you can blanch the berries in boiling water for a few seconds, then rinse them in cold water and slip off the husks.
  • Use a good quality pie crust: Whether you're using a homemade or store-bought crust, make sure it's fresh and flaky. A good crust will help to elevate the pie and make it more enjoyable.
  • Don't overfill the pie: Ground cherries are delicate berries, so it's important not to overcrowd the pie. Leave some space between the berries so that they can cook evenly.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: This usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour. You can check the pie by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the pie is done.

Conclusion:

Ground cherry pie is a delicious and unique dessert that's perfect for summer gatherings. With its sweet-tart flavor and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a new pie recipe to try, give ground cherry pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
