So, what do ground cherries taste like? They are generally described as tasting like pineapples, or having that generic tropical fruit flavor. But this fruit seems to taste different to everyone who tries it! I've heard others say that they taste more like pears, grapes or even strawberries while some say that they taste like nothing at all. Ron couldn't describe their flavor either on today's Chew Chat. To me they were a mixture between white grapes and yellow tomatoes. I hope that you get a chance to try these mysterious fruits! If you have please comment below what they taste like to you. If you manage to get your hands on this beautiful fruit you can find a recipe for the ground cherry tart prepared in this video below. Thank you! 😊 Ground Cherry Tart, Justine's Own Filling: 2 cups of ground cherries 0.5 cups of brown sugar 0.5 teaspoons of nutmeg 2 tablespoons of flour 1 tablespoon of butter Remove the husk from your ground cherries then wash well to clean. Lay a pie crust on the bottom of a pie pan. Onto this divide up and sprinkle on a layer of flour, nutmeg & sugar. Onto of this layer pour on your ground cherries. On top of the ground cherries add the 2nd half of your flour, nutmeg and sugar. Spread everything out evenly. Sprinkle with small dabs of butter throughout. Bake in a 375 degree oven for half an hour. Crust: 3 cups of flour 1 & 1/3 cup of butter, cold Salt, a pinch Vinegar, a dash 1 egg 1/3 cup cold water Combine the flour & salt. Add the butter (if you cut it into cubes first it's easier to work with). Work into the flour with 2 knives until the butter is the size of peas throughout. In a bowl whisk together an egg with your water & vinegar before combining this with the other ingredients to form a dough. This is enough to make a top and a bottom crust. You may freeze whatever portion of the crust is leftover. It keeps well.
Hi Justine! I thought it would be wise to add a note about unripe groundcherries and safety: It's very important that your groundcherries are ripe and yellow when eating them, even when you cook them. The green indicates the continued presence of solanine and solanidine, which are alkaloid poisons. It's the same stuff as in green potatoes, to which they're related (nightshade family). Adults can handle a certain amount, although that stomachache, nausea or dizziness later isn't due to having overeaten - that's the poison talking! But children and the elderly or immunocompromised can get very, very ill. It's toxic. Again, cooking is not a reliable method for reducing the alkaloid content. The good news is, groundcherries ripen very well in room temperature. Leave the green ones for a few days and they'll soon be ready. Also, if you save the seeds, you can plant them and harvest your own fruits next year!
We live in Stillwater, MN, next to the Wisconsin border and we have a local farmer who grows these every year. I buy a dry pint at a time. They keep for a long time on the kitchen counter where I keep them for snacking. They are delicious. They taste a bit like pineapple and a bit like cherries. Thanks for this fun video!
I first had them at a Thanksgiving Sacred Harp/Shape Note singing. They're kind of addicting like sunflowers, in fact they would taste good alongside as a snack.
I live in Florida but one of my favorite places on earth is Stillwater Minnesota! If I ever get to be in that area again I will definitely look for these.
I have been so overwhelmed by the recent events in the middle east and today I decided to stop watching the news coverage. I was so pleased to discover you had put out a new video. I needed the escape. Thank you. I love the channel and just adore you both.
Wow, haven't seen these since I was a kid on the farm. I remember then tasting almost like tomatoes and semisweet grapes. Granny would make the pies with regular sugar and a dash of honey or molasses depending on the fruit ripeness. Incredible taste after baking. Each bite would be a little different. What memories. Thanks Justine. Hope Ron saves you some.
I absolutely love ground cherries, they’re so delicious right out of the skin. I grow them every year in my garden.. they taste like a very mild pineapple to me.
I seriously can't get enough of the set, it transports me in time and the food always looks incredible. This channel is such a blessing, congrats to the people that make it possible ❤
Turns out that what we thought were wild tomatillos growing on the ranch near the irrigation pipe are in fact actually Groundcherries!!! 😋 Indigenous to the American continents, they grow in husks and are sweet and tangy. People describe them as tasting of: pineapple, green tomato and grapes. Thanks for the recipe!
Justine, in your Early American posts you look so happy whether you're Cooking or Baking. You're truly in your own element and you make it all look so easy! Thanks to you and Ron for these wonderful videos, Early American and Frontier Patriot. Great Job!
@ericturner2477 they grow on small, compact bushes. I bought my seeds from Seed Savers, but they may be available locally depending on where you live. They are not hardy, but they drop so much fruit that they will usually reseed on their own.
I loved that you mixed the pie filling right in the crust! Saves time and saves washing another mixing bowl! I've grown ground cherries (I got the seed from an heirloom seed company). Easy to grow, and delicious! Very similar to tomatillos (which I also grow) but not exactly the same. Ground cherries taste good raw or cooked, and in sweet or savory foods. They also make great salsa. Love your channel!
Also called gooseberries in some parts! We have grown these for a few years now and you hit the nail right on the head as far as describing the flavor - sweet with a little tomato back-kick. These also make great jelly!! Thank you for the videos 😊
I find all of these videos extremely useful in the understanding of my pioneer ancestors. What I would like to know more about is how these very resourceful women did all of this and took care of many infant children and multiple pregnancies.
Justine and Ron, this video makes my heart happy! It is rare to find examples of people cooking with this lovely fruit. I grew some in pots last year with little success but there were many fruits that escaped harvesting then developed into plants this year so we've had plenty to munch. Now I've got a nice little amount saved that will be just enough for either a small dessert or a micro batch of jam. They are precious and so unique. Thank you for this beautiful video and I can't wait to watch the chew and chat. edit: And of course, the plants I started from seed were naturally the 'Aunt Molly' variety because...my name, haha! 2nd edit: To me, they taste of pineapple mixed with apple. Hubby loves them, DD loves them but none of the grandkids like them haha.
Oh yummy! We have them in New Zealand and we call them cape gooseberries. I love eating them raw, so tart and flavoursome ! Gooseberry jam is yum too ! We can grow them in a planter box or in the garden and buy the plants from local nurseries
I used to raise them in my central Michigan garden. they are a bit invasive. I read the Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, who wrote that Ma made jam of them. I was curious, and tried that. Used the same recipe as for gooseberry jam, and also my Grama's recipe for tomato preserves. Liked th latter best. Like tomatoes, tomaatillos and potatoes, they're a member of the nightshade family.
I grew them in my garden some years back. They were called Aunt Molly's. They are easy to grow. I never thought to make a pie out of them, though. I mixed them with tomatillos and chili peppers when I made tomatillo sauce. They add a sweet flavor to sauces and soups.
I really love your channel!!! Homey and rustic has its own unique deep understanding of life, love and great food. I am a fan, as are many of my family. ...well done
I'm always excited for dessert! It looked interesting, but I'm not sure if I would like it or not. I loved the commentary from MishMish and your rooster. 🐓
We grow them here in New Zealand but they are called Cape Gooseberries. My nana always grew them and made gooseberry jam every year. Thank you for sharing. Jeanette, New Zealand.
Back in the early 1970’s when I was little, I remember my Mom and Dads garden. I grew up in Greenville, WI and watched how my folks would do that - hands on the hips and do a final look over of a hard days work on the garden! And one day I was with my mom looking over the garden and asked her, WHAT is THAT??? She said, that’s a ground cherry plant. She peeled the husk off and gave me one and oh my!!! Loved it! I snuck into the garden and ate them all summer long. They thought they had a rabbit 🐇 ‘till they caught me! 🤗. A slight pineapple flavor but white grapes and yellow tomatoes is a great description. I buy the seeds from Seed Savors! Really love your channel. That little cabin is a slice of heaven! Gorgeous ❤
We grew ground cherries this year. I agree with your taste assessment. They definitely need to be made into something. Eating them plain wasn't great. Love your channel.
Hello, good time, dear friend Thank you for your new and very beautiful video You take me back to the classic era of people's lives of a very distant decade, thank you for introducing us to the art of classic cooking. Your beautiful channel is extremely specialized and excellent You are organized, kind and expert in video production I gladly support your beautiful channel, my dear colleague
We've raised husk tomatoes or ground cherries for years. Their musky earthiness is great raw or made into jam. Thanks for your excellent video.. keep up the good work.
I love watching you cook, is so peaceful. Always like to share it with my daughter. Thinking about getting her a wooden dough Bowl. She has to make a lot of gluten-free food
Greetings from Montana 👋🇺🇸❤ I’ve never heard of ground cherries before! Very very interesting, for sure! I’d certainly be game to trying them if I ever came across them! God bless and keep you, Justine 😊 have a blessed and beautiful week ❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸
I read that they are related to tomatillos. That explains the papery covering! Someone describe the raw taste as tomato & pineapple combined. Interesting!!❤
Hi Justine, my granddaughter found these growing wild in her flower bed we had no idea what they were. I thought tomatillas but small. My grandson said weeds. We live in ne Indiana I have never seen them around here before. Thanks for solving the mystery, must have been a random bird donation. Love both of your channels!
I used to go to this restaurant that put ground cherries on their desserts. I was delighted b6 them the first time I tried them. I think your description is right, grape plus yellow tomato. They’re very nice and I can see why they’d be seen as a valuable food source.
This is interesting. I thought this setting only existed in a movie. Everything is old fashioned and it's wonderful and relaxing to watch. Waiting for a queen and king to come out.
Cool recipe to share, thank you! I’ll have to try it sometime! Your content is always so thoughtful, informative, helpful and unique. Much appreciated 🙏. Everlasting love ❤️ and positive vibes to you!
One of my favorite and only memories of my grandmother cooking, was of husking heaps of ground cherries with her at her dining room table. She was ailing by then and had trouble peeling the tiny fruit, so when she stepped out to use the bathroom I tried to get as many cherries peeled for her as I could. When she came back she made a remark about how quickly I worked. 😅 I wasn't very old when her health really started to fail, so I remember almost nothing of her cooking, but I'm told her food was delicious.
We ended up with 2 ground cherries in our garden this year. We have no idea where they came from but they were a joy to watch. The chickens ate the fruit.
I just grew these this year! They are wonderful and super easy to grow. They can get up to 5' in height, but because I had poor soil, they were more bushy. The flowers are so delicate and tiny, white with a purple center. They will tell you when they're ripe by falling onto the ground! Hence GROUND cherries. (which makes it foolproof for me. 😅) They will also continue to ripen if you leave them in their husks on your counter for up to a month. They start tangy and get sweeter the more they ripen. Maybe that's why they change flavors on people. Did I mention they're prolific? One bush will produce 100s of fruit. Even my tiny 2' bush produced so many and is still producing well into fall. 🥰
I'm from the rural Dakota plains, and my dad used to grow ground cherries in his garden. I don't think he ever cooked with them, we just snacked on them. They tasted like a cross between tomatoes and grapes to me, but very unique. Maybe I'll grow them someday 🥰
As soon as I saw what the fruit look like, you were working with it immediately brought up a memory of me having eaten them, but for some reason I can’t remember it
Also called Physalis. They are available year round in every supermarket for real cheap where I live. Never knew it's something special in other parts of the world.
An older woman gave me a start of this plant when I was a little girl raised on a farm. I planted the plant in Mom' s flower bed and they slowly over a few years grew voluntary in every space they could. Also this same lady gave me a pet chicken that I dearly loved. This was central Ohio.
I have some in my fridge, I love their tangy sweet taste. They have different names, I know them as physalis berries. Thankfully my local supermarket sells them. This is a delicious idea for them. I have been covering them in dark chocolate.
I have ground cherries in my raised garden as we speak! Once you plant them, you'll have them every year. They taste like a cross between a pineapple a pear. Kinda. Lol very unique taste for sure
We just tried ground cherries at an Octoberfest party at a friends house last weekend. They were wonderful! My husband wants to grow them in our garden next year!
Grew up eating these wild in Wisconsin, just growing out in the woods. Now days I have to buy them from the farmers market, and yes they seem to have become rarer! My thoughts are less wild land and more building so less ground cherries! But I would describe the taste of a very ripe deep yellow ground cherry to be similar to butterscotch! Yum!
In New Zealand, we know these fruit as 'Cape Gooseberry" or less commonly "Paper Gooseberry". Never heard of the name 'groundcherry' until today, I like it!
So, what do ground cherries taste like? They are generally described as tasting like pineapples, or having that generic tropical fruit flavor. But this fruit seems to taste different to everyone who tries it!

Ground Cherry Tart, Justine's Own

2 cups of ground cherries
0.5 cups of brown sugar
0.5 teaspoons of nutmeg
2 tablespoons of flour
1 tablespoon of butter
Remove the husk from your ground cherries then wash well to clean. Lay a pie crust on the bottom of a pie pan. Onto this divide up and sprinkle on a layer of flour, nutmeg & sugar. Onto of this layer pour on your ground cherries. On top of the ground cherries add the 2nd half of your flour, nutmeg and sugar. Spread everything out evenly.

1 & 1/3 cup of butter, cold
Salt, a pinch
Vinegar, a dash
1 egg
1/3 cup cold water
Combine the flour & salt. Add the butter (if you cut it into cubes first it's easier to work with). Work into the flour with 2 knives until the butter is the size of peas throughout.

By your description, they must be very bland, I had the same experience eating wild strawberries growing in my backyard.
It's just a generic sweet fruit with a tomato aftertaste

That's good to know! I'll have to get some next spring/summer.

@@ericturner2477 you can find them from small seed companies. Try local companies focused on heirloom seeds.

Usually try most anything, but white grapes with tomato taste, that's a doozy!!😊😊

I'm from UK, we call this fruit Physallis. I used to peel back the husk using it to hold the fruit and dip into melted chocolate 😊
I've never seen this fruit before or tasted it! I'm deprived ! I love cherries I'm sure I would love these too ❤❤
Such enjoyable content. I have grown ground cherries several times. Most I eat raw while in the garden.
Never seen or taste ground cherries. It seems a unique fruit.
Thank you, Justine, for the recipe.
Rare indeed. I'd never seen or even heard of this fruit until today. I would like to try them.
What a combination white gtapes a tomato. Anyway I enjoyed as always! Thanks Justine
I had never heard of these cherries....thanks for the video!!!😊
Always enjoy watching!
Grew up eating these wild in Wisconsin, just growing out in the woods. Now days I have to buy them from the farmers market, and yes they seem to have become rarer! My thoughts are less wild land and more building so less ground cherries! But I would describe the taste of a very ripe deep yellow ground cherry to be similar to butterscotch! Yum!
In New Zealand they are called cape gooseberries, very rare but delicious if you can find them! 😋 Thank you, I love your videos
Looks delicious-what are ground cherries and where can you get them? Do they have pits?
In Persian, we call them « arousak e posht e pardeh » which literally translates to « puppets behind the curtains. »😊
Thank you and nice cat
My neighbor just gave me some ground cherry seeds this year. Cannot wait to try them in the next growing season!
We always called them Gooseberries. They grow in the wild and in abundance, especially all over the farm my parents own.
Omg just in time when I was about to search for ur channel to watch some videos before sleeping 😂❤
I hope that you have a great evening!
@@EarlyAmericanthank you! U too❤
I've never heard about ground cherries, but I'll give them a try.😊
In New Zealand, we know these fruit as 'Cape Gooseberry" or less commonly "Paper Gooseberry". Never heard of the name 'groundcherry' until today, I like it!
