i always keep my eyes open for something i've never seen or tried before at the weekly farmers market in south side. so far this year, gooseberries have been the only thing i have never tried, but i still knew what they were. but yesterday, i found something i have never seen before...and it love it!
they're called ground cherries. they come in little paper-like pods, which you peal away to reveal a tiny yellow fruit center. they taste somewhat like a peach & strawberry mixed together, but there is another vanilla-like flavor there too. delicious! i'm hoping they are still available next week, because i'd really like to bake something with them, or make a jelly or jam out of them. sam did a little research & they are actually very easy to grow, and come in a lot of different varieties.
if you spot any of these lil fruits, give them a try!
