Ground cherries, also known as husk tomatoes, produce tiny tomato-like fruits in papery husks on low, lanky bushes. This is an old Mennonite recipe with a crumb topping. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups ground cherries |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons water |
1 (9 inch) pie shell |
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
3 tablespoons white sugar |
2 tablespoons butter |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. Wash ground cherries and place in unbaked pie shell. Mix brown sugar and 1 tablespoon flour and sprinkle over cherries. Sprinkle water over top. Mix together 3 tablespoons flour and 3 tablespoons sugar. Cut butter in until crumbly. Top cherry mixture with crumbs.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, reduce temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and continue to bake for 25 minutes.
