Fun Recipes for Ground Cherries

Courtesy of Shareholder Carolyn Grady:

We have a suggestion for ground cherries - use as an alternative to blueberries.

Our latest "win" has been a ground cherry buckle.  We replaced the blueberries with ground cherries.  Replacing ~ 1/2 the berries with ground cherries in a fruit cobbler has been a winner as well.

Here's the buckle recipe-

3/4 c sugar

1/4 c butter or shortening

1 egg

1/2 c milk

2 c flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 c berries

topping:  1/3 c flour; 1/2 c sugar; 1/2 tsp cinnamon; 1/4 c soft butter

Heat oven to 375; Grease and flour 9x9x2 pan

Mix sugar; butter and egg thoroughly

Stir in milk

Blend in dry ingredients

Stir in berries

Spread in pan

Topping:  Combine flour; sugar and cinnamon;

Cut in butter until crummy

Sprinkle with topping mixture

Bake 45-50 min
