Aunt Molly’s Ground Cherry

The plants have a sprawling habit, easy-to-grow, prolific, and super-sweet. 1/2-3/4-inch fruit is enclosed in a papery husk. High pectin content makes this one an excellent choice for pies and preserves. The fruit is ripe when it turns a golden orange color and drops to the ground. These tasty summer treats are even more mineral-dense than tomatoes, packed with unique phytochemicals and flavonoids.
