G'day Everyone! Here's the written recipe: selfsufficientme.com/recipes/cape-gooseberry-chicken-drumsticks-recipe-grow-and-cook Thanks for your ongoing support! Cheers :)
Mark, I watch your videos and Sky News reports. I'm very interested in your opinion of the on going drought and reports I'm hearing out of Australia. I think a video about it would drive home the importance of being self sufficient.
Mark is a force of Nature :) He is equivalent to the late crocodile hunter Steve Irwin - an Australian icon and Mark deserves to be so. Mark has got the voice, the look and the personality to go worldwide. I can see it now...tv series, country and state tours showcasing Australia, gardening, recipes, book releases, defence force talk, and many more. Mark I hope you get billions and live to be 200. Keep up the good work.
To be compared to the late great Steve Irwin is indeed generous! What a legend and he still lives on in most of us I reckon. I'm not sure I have the talent to do any of those things but I certainly will be happy enough to keep creating videos as long as I can and for as long as people want to keep watching them. Thank you :)
How I miss my grandmother’s gooseberry jam! The best jam period! Whenever I go back to South Africa for a visit, I raid the cupboards looking for the jam. 🤤
Just got all my gooseberries out of my new tunnel house as they suffocated all other vegetable and strawberries. A force of nature. As they are still green and we've got the first frost already in the centre of New Zealand. I don't want to waste 15kg of fruit. Some are as big as tomatoes. So I cooked them with ginger, lime juice, sugar and a tiny bit of water into jams and fruit preserves. We had a bit of the preserves on vanilla ice cream - delicious. No hallucinations or stomach pain. I also preserve green tomatoes with an Italian recipe - the ones that don't make it to get red and it is very much appreciated by friends and neighbours like a chutney. The secret is probably to cook them as night shade vegetables should not be eaten raw? Thanks to the new idea. I'll try my green cape gooseberries / Physalis with Mike's recipe as a side dish like my tomatoes.
I had sliced Cape Gooseberries in a salad thrice. I don't like salads, but the berries are so amazing that you wouldn't want to eat a salad without Cape Gooseberries in it.
I've eaten them green and it was similar to a DMT trip. I travelled to a dimension where there were thousands of Marks from Self Sufficient me standing there just looking at me and telling me dad jokes.
This is fabulous! I love the idea of seeing recipes with the more unusual fruits/veg you grow, like the rosella. I’d never heard of it before but now want to find it and try some.
I got some months back from farmers market in middle ga USA.. took some that were going and out into dirt… in a pot… I have tons of seedlings now… now have to transplant
Ground cherries have a solid coloured skin, cape gooseberries are translucent. There is also a variation in taste with the cape gooseberry being a little more tart. Many people call them the same thing but there are slight differences in appearance and taste.
Same here, but living in Canada. Also they are very rich in vitamins. Just love them and can't get enought of them. Like chips...once you have started to eat them, you can't stop.
I grow them in the spring (I still have berries in my freezer from last year). So good! I've made them in a gallette with a little sugar added. It was wonderful with some ice cream.
I was moved to buy a local's gooseberry plant, as they remind my of my nan and pop's place when we were kids - going and raiding them and "unwrapping" them was the best fun. Now I have a recipe to try out once it gets into gear, thanks Mark!!
I just received the cape gooseberry seeds today from "Seeds for Africa" and put 2 in soil in a tin for sprouting. then I will transplant the into a spot in my small garden. Thank you I'm going to try the chicken recipe. Bless you.
I have ridiculous amounts of these at the moment, fantastic sliched on pizza or focacia. They freeze ok too. I use these with tamarillo pulp, red onion, fresh coriander, feijoa, chilli and a lime juice/brownsugar dressing. Blows minds. My favourite salad/salsa. Might even forgo a baked spud for this one..
Hi, Mark. Love your channel, but I'll never have a garden as big as yours, ha-ha. I'm always looking for new, interesting ways to cook chicken, so this video inspired me to plant a few cape gooseberry seeds to start in my mini-greenhouse this winter (in California). I thought cape gooseberries were only good for making jam, and I don't know how. Your video showed me they're useful for other things, like a new chicken recipe. I'm very grateful to you for expanding what I cook for supper!
So glad to find this video, Mark. I am growing both tomatillos and ground cherries (Cape Gooseberries) this season for the first time. They are growing a treat and we can’t wait for harvest time. Thanks for the recipe ideas!
Ground cherries and cape gooseberries aren't the same things whilst regularly used interchangeably they are infact different. My research indicates the cape gooseberry has a more translucent colour and the ground cherry a more solid colour and there is also slight variations in taste. I've recently planted the ground cherry so I can see which one I prefer the taste of as the cape gooseberry is apparently more tart than the ground cherry.
We grew up with them, but knew them as ground cherries! My mom made the best jam with them. We always enjoyed her jam/sauce over vanilla ice cream! In Florida I had a great harvest of them last summer grown in wood chips, I also grew them in Hawaii in my garden - they’re known as Poha Berries in Hawaii. Whatever you call them, they’re delicious!
Oh man, yes they do survive heat so well. I started with 1 plant in 2019 they survive through most of our gulf coast weather in swampy spring and extreme summer when my tomatoes die off that are in ground. Couple years later though and I have ground cherry plants.... everywhere.... so many plants now. They reseed themselves and whatever the birds have taken end up elsewhere. I would try some honey instead of the granular sugar though. The flavor is much deeper and richer with it. And a squeeze of something citrus in the marinade too. It also goes well with apricot salsa as an addition to it. Groundcherry, apricot and basil salsa with some nice fire roasted chiles chopped up.
I have a jam recipe for cape gooseberries that I make every year. I found the secret in getting them to grow ..... Just through the old berries ( you forgot was in the fridge) were you don't want them to grow. Then once they come up decide that is where you want them to be. They can take over a patch and get very droopy...
I've got some sitting in my kitchen now bought them from the supermarket. Although I wouldn't recommend having them on their own, they're an acquired taste!
Could have just said like his plant knowledge without bringing attention to yourself or passive aggressively judging his food choices (which match the majority of the human race throughout history)
YUUUMMMMY! my neighbor grew theses when I was a kid and we would eat them green, I havent had them since as a kid but I didnt know they turned yellow. I dont remember getting sick. I just remember how good they were
Oooo...with pork! That sounds awesome! We have one plant, so not enough to cook with, but that’s a good reason to grow more plants! My wife loves them...we have a “goldenberry” plant, which is one of the many varieties of cape gooseberry.
First of all, I love your channel and how detailed and hilarious you are! Even though I don't eat meat, this dish would be good on something vegan! Thanks so much for sharing! I just discovered that my little volunteers are gooseberries and I'm soooooo excited because I didn't' plant any, I shall now take better care of them! LOL
I'm definately not a fan of them, but dry them and they're called "Inka berries". One of the most delicious things you've ever eaten. I'm now looking at growing some just so I can dry them. So addictive!!
I’m hooked on your vids 😘you’re so funny . I love ( I call them yellow tomatoes ) and cherry tomatoes cleaned chuck in a deep frying pan. Season with a good splashing of olive oil and garlic put the lid on and cook slowly mmmmmmm they just cook in their own juices , then cook some penne pasta and mix together once the pasta is cooked sprinkle parmigiana and yummy it’s my fav 🥰
Man these things are great I finally got myself one of these in the central valley in California and just wow, its growing like it should have been here all along! Damn near every clipping with take-a-root takes to whatever soil I put it in; great for those trying to produce a good yield with limited space!
I love that you cut the background music off completely when you are speaking. Nothing more annoying than trying to listen to a presenter with even the slightest bit of music. Thank you for that!
You are so funny and I truly enjoy watching your video and your “dad jokes”! If you need an adopted adult daughter let me know lol Please NEVER stop what you’re doing 👍🏻
Beautiful cherry tomatoes! They look exactly like mine I’m still harvesting in South Texas. Mine are heirlooms so yellows, purple, red and green. I have pictures and I’m so proud because it’s my first garden and I planted them a little late which is why I’m still harvesting. The plants have almost played out so these are my last.
I grew one of these ages ago it was pulled out but then comes up anywhere around the garden around where the original was. . And they are much tougher than tomatoes and dont need any fertilizer. they are sometimes sour but if you let them ripen for long enough they have a tart flavor thats not too bad. Why not try them with apricots an apricot chicken cape gooseberry mix sounds ok.
Who have thought that it can be used in dishes and cakes? We have plenty of this growing wild in our farm.. We eat this when we little.. But not anymore as we grow older.. Remembering this.. We called it "Tino-tino..
Well I've never heard of/seen Cape Gooseberries, buy my husband, who was born in England likes to tell me me he was born under a Gooseberry bush. Tomatillos are quite prevalent in the Mexican food markets here in San Diego, California, and I plan to grow some for the first time next season. Now, I am curious about Cape Gooseberries! Thank you.
Thanks Mark! Never heard of or eaten Cape gooseberries. Sure looks good on the chicken though! I always learn something from you and enjoy your videos. It's pretty fascinating where you live and your garden is tip top and you have it flourishing. What a treat!👵🌲🐕💌
Thanks Mike, good video. I grew these thinking they were the European gooseberries. Now 10 years later at least one comes up each year. The chickens enjoy eating the berries, but I’ve only snacked on them. Might have to fight the chickens to get half a hat full🥴
Haven't had gooseberries in the house in years, will have to search them out. If I find some, will try this with the 🦃 turkey I'm picking up in a few days.
Glad to see your scrub and air is healthy Toowoomba has been clovered in smoke for weeks replacing the dust Our scrub is burning our koalas in dire straits the birds have fled pray for rain Australia pray for rain I like your new theme of video mark what are we going to do with these foolish people whom will not let backburning my heart aches my eyes weep for our wonderful country and our poor animals
In the US, we grow something called groundcherries or pineapple ground cherries. I have about 5 types of groundcherries. Most people seem to think groundcherries and cape gooseberries are the same plant, but the more I look at them, the more they are not the same. The groundcherry seems a smaller berry. It is also NOT sour at all. It is, in fact, nice and crisp and sweet when ripe. The plants (leaves and growth habit) also seems quite different. I would be curious about their smell, since I have a few different plants with similar leaves but each variety has its own smell. Also, it sounds like the cape gooseberry likes a cooler climate than the groundcherries, which do not even want to sprout until it is very warm. Mine come AFTER my eggplants, peppers, and tomatoes have already been growing, which makes it a perfect plant for the desert. Strangely enough, heat does not necessarily mean a lot of sun. It appreciates some shade, but then here, our sun is so intense, anything not shaded burns up. We just pop our groundcherries right into our mouths, they are so delicious. I have started to be interested in finding true cape gooseberry seeds. It is supposedly a more upright and bigger plant than the groundcherries, so I shall be keeping my eye out for these fruits. I can also see that the leaf shape and stems looks a bit more tomatillo-like than groundcherry-like.
My FIL used to grow these in Hervey Bay, very tasty. That sure looked like a whip snake, just be wary as they breed with brown snakes and can be venomous if bitten, usually they are quite timid and non aggressive.
Thanks for this recipe. I love cape gooseberries. Just planted a ground cherry which is very similar but a more solid colour and not as tart. Interested to taste the difference.
They're also called ground cherries, I grew some last year in a raised bed but they somehow spread throughout my whole garden. I'm not complaining though, they taste really good and my nieces have fun looking for the fallen ones.
Hey i love this video.. it just splendid.. i have a plants of these berries... but i never tried with chicken.. but i will try this surely from srilanka... i am ayurveda therapist and food lover...
Yum, looked great. We call this plant Physalis in Portugal and it self sets all around my garden...I always let a few get big where I have some trellis to tie them up... The fruit is great as it goes right up until the frost and has lots of vitamin C. Never tried cooking them, only in salads and as they are... Thinking about it now though...😁.. Cheers! ✨
I'll see if these area available here in the 'States. They look delicious, and I'll bet your right about pairing them with pork! I forage for wild elderberries every Summer, something my Grandmother taught us to do - They are poisonous if eaten green, too, as are the stems and leaves. The berries are made into syrup, jelly and jam (or wine!) , and is not only delicious, but a very strong anti-viral. If eaten a few times each week, they prevent colds and flu, or if you've gotten one, greatly lessen the symptoms and duration. Isn't it funny how something poisonous when not ripe can be so tasty and good for you when it's ready?

Great Video! I didn't even know you could use cape gooseberries in meat meals, Super cool and looks delicious!
Love the music mark

We call them ground cherries here in the Southern US. Just started growing them this year, very excited, and I will definitely try this recipe!
Ground cherries have a solid coloured skin, cape gooseberries are translucent. There is also a variation in taste with the cape gooseberry being a little more tart. Many people call them the same thing but there are slight differences in appearance and taste.

Just made this recipe last night after it marinaded for a couple days. DELICIOUS!
I grow them in the spring (I still have berries in my freezer from last year). So good! I've made them in a gallette with a little sugar added. It was wonderful with some ice cream.
Just got my Cape Gooseberry seeds from Amazon. Can't wait for the growing season, and to try my first ground cherry.
Wow! Not only did this look delicious, but it’s easy!! Thanks for bringing less commonly used fruits and veg into the spotlight. ☺️🌟
love the hype in the beginning! LETS GET INTO IT
I was moved to buy a local's gooseberry plant, as they remind my of my nan and pop's place when we were kids - going and raiding them and "unwrapping" them was the best fun. Now I have a recipe to try out once it gets into gear, thanks Mark!!

Might even forgo a baked spud for this one..
I'm in the Eastern Cape, South Africa and they grow like weeds all over our farm. Just wild in the bush. 1 falls off and 100 more plants grow.

My parents have a plant at home, but we only eat them raw. I got to try that recipe now!
Got my first flowers..I am so excited

that garden is a full time job in itself i imagine!
So happy to find you have gooseberry in your channel. Will try out the recipe once I have enough gooseberries to work on it.
I've got some sitting in my kitchen now bought them from the supermarket. Although I wouldn't recommend having them on their own, they're an acquired taste!
I'm vegan but love your plant knowledge....

Will be planting them for the first time this coming season. Thank you for sharing your experience.
I have several Uchuva started and will be using this recipe!
Half a hat-full is my new measuring standard.
Bit like a loquat, bit lime cordial sometimes, on the sharp side. Real flavours for people with actual taste buds.
I’m hooked on your vids 😘you’re so funny .
I love ( I call them yellow tomatoes ) and cherry tomatoes cleaned chuck in a deep frying pan.
Season with a good splashing of olive oil and garlic put the lid on and cook slowly mmmmmmm they just cook in their own juices , then cook some penne pasta and mix together once the pasta is cooked sprinkle parmigiana and yummy it’s my fav 🥰
I just bought some seeds! Thanks for the help!
Sounds delicious! I haven't eaten any ground cherries in years. Never thought to make any dishes with them, as they were just a treat in the garden.
I like these food ideas/recipe videos for the stuff out of the garden!
I remember my Grandmother maKing a delicious Cape gooseberry and Peach jam 🤩
Funny that this video popped up because I just bought a Cape Gooseberry to try growing this season.
here in the netherlands we call it the "inca gold berry" i thought it is fun to let you know
have an awesome day Mark
Grow and Cook recipe...need to do more of these Mark. Great combination.
One of my favorite fruits, plant them once and they'll self seed. Your recipe looks tasty- we'll try it!
Man these things are great I finally got myself one of these in the central valley in California and just wow, its growing like it should have been here all along! Damn near every clipping with take-a-root takes to whatever soil I put it in; great for those trying to produce a good yield with limited space!
Love the taste of it and yes there are plenty in South Africa. I am trying to grow them here now 🍒🍒
Love that description of the taste!! 🤣🤣🤣
Yes Mark it’s a yellow faced whip snake slightly venomous keep up you great work plus make up Sam book Heath
I love that you cut the background music off completely when you are speaking. Nothing more annoying than trying to listen to a presenter with even the slightest bit of music. Thank you for that!
Love this style of video Mark, cheers mate greetings from Sydney, stormy weather and bush fires down here, keep safe over summer, take care.
thank you, planning on ground cherries for first time this year :)
You are so funny and I truly enjoy watching your video and your “dad jokes”! If you need an adopted adult daughter let me know lol Please NEVER stop what you’re doing 👍🏻
its a bit late ,but was given one today &will try & grow some.
They self seed each year here in northland, NZ. They freeze well and I add them to my breakfast stewed fruit combos.
Beautiful cherry tomatoes! They look exactly like mine I’m still harvesting in South Texas. Mine are heirlooms so yellows, purple, red and green. I have pictures and I’m so proud because it’s my first garden and I planted them a little late which is why I’m still harvesting. The plants have almost played out so these are my last.
I grew one of these ages ago it was pulled out but then comes up anywhere around the garden around where the original was. . And they are much tougher than tomatoes and dont need any fertilizer. they are sometimes sour but if you let them ripen for long enough they have a tart flavor thats not too bad. Why not try them with apricots an apricot chicken cape gooseberry mix sounds ok.
Make jam really great
that sounds great too!
That was AWSOME just wish you had some growing info. When to sow etc. The snake was gorgeous .💕
Brilliant, thanks for this, been looking for something to do with these other than jam!
Good idea, two solanums. Hadn't cooked with gooseberries before but this might really bring their flavor out.
Who have thought that it can be used in dishes and cakes? We have plenty of this growing wild in our farm.. We eat this when we little.. But not anymore as we grow older.. Remembering this.. We called it "Tino-tino..
I'm growing the plant I can wait to make your recipe thank you very much you take care
Oh the gooseberry chicken looks delicious! These berries are high in antioxidants!

Looks tasty and yummy..another recipe that add to my cook book..tnx Mark God Bless
Good on ya Jean! Cheers :)
That really looks like what we refer to as a ground cherry. Love them 🌻
Slight differences in colour and taste but very close.
Thanks Mike, good video. I grew these thinking they were the European gooseberries. Now 10 years later at least one comes up each year. The chickens enjoy eating the berries, but I’ve only snacked on them. Might have to fight the chickens to get half a hat full🥴
Haven't had gooseberries in the house in years, will have to search them out. If I find some, will try this with the 🦃 turkey I'm picking up in a few days.
Keet Randling , I found the seeds on Amazon
Nice tunes! and Intro! :)
I like this additional aspect of your channel.
This was awesome to watch!
Wow , this video made me hungry.
Best intro ever! I love the bugs next to the spider.🙂
Glad to see your scrub and air is healthy Toowoomba has been clovered in smoke for weeks replacing the dust Our scrub is burning our koalas in dire straits the birds have fled pray for rain Australia pray for rain I like your new theme of video mark what are we going to do with these foolish people whom will not let backburning my heart aches my eyes weep for our wonderful country and our poor animals
True. Let's hope we have a really wet summer Jill... All the best :)

Thanks for this recipe. I love cape gooseberries. Just planted a ground cherry which is very similar but a more solid colour and not as tart. Interested to taste the difference.
The most soothing channel on RUclips. Gives me hope for humanity.
I made a spicy Thai chili sauce with banana peppers and gooseberries and canned it
They're also called ground cherries, I grew some last year in a raised bed but they somehow spread throughout my whole garden. I'm not complaining though, they taste really good and my nieces have fun looking for the fallen ones.
Crikey.. This looks fantastic. Gonna give this a go when my Caped Gooseberry's are ready for harvest :D
Love the channel you are a great personality
I think that was the coolest intro a gardening video can have! Sick video editing ❤️
We really like Ground cherries or Cape gooseberries... but I haven't tried cooking with it.. thanks for the ideas

🌺Aloha I will be growing some this year🌺
Yum, looked great. We call this plant Physalis in Portugal and it self sets all around my garden...I always let a few get big where I have some trellis to tie them up... The fruit is great as it goes right up until the frost and has lots of vitamin C. Never tried cooking them, only in salads and as they are... Thinking about it now though...😁.. Cheers! ✨
Great format Mark. 👍👍👍
Looks yummy Mark, have never tried them.
I'll see if these area available here in the 'States. They look delicious, and I'll bet your right about pairing them with pork! I forage for wild elderberries every Summer, something my Grandmother taught us to do - They are poisonous if eaten green, too, as are the stems and leaves. The berries are made into syrup, jelly and jam (or wine!) , and is not only delicious, but a very strong anti-viral. If eaten a few times each week, they prevent colds and flu, or if you've gotten one, greatly lessen the symptoms and duration. Isn't it funny how something poisonous when not ripe can be so tasty and good for you when it's ready?
They are available in the states you call them Ground Cherries (Physalis is the official name)
@@freespirit2194 Thank you! I'm going to get some for this Spring if I can find them here in Central Florida.
