I've heard of ground cherries (probably via a <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euell_Gibbons" REL="nofollow">Euell Gibbons</A> book) but I've never had one and I've never seen them for sale. <BR/><BR/>By the way, I love the Farm Journal's Country Cookbook that you mention. It's a fascinating glimpse into another era and I find things there I see nowhere else. Of course, James Beard and ground cherries?

I used to have such easy access to my grandmother, but now that I'm out of the house it's much harder. Wish I'd been paying better attention!<BR/><BR/>Candy and Tigerfish, I hadn't seen them before this autumn either. Or I may have seen them bus wasn't aware enough of them to notice. They're interesting little things!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08402921195094964887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4002612879648972347.post-70240591973358452572008-10-07T19:48:00.000+02:002008-10-07T19:48:00.000+02:00Mmm, warm and cold, fruit and ice cream - it's the...Mmm, warm and cold, fruit and ice cream - it's the best pairing in the world.

I bet the poached cherries are super delicious on some vanilla ice cream .. yum!<BR/><BR/>I really wish I paid more attention when my grandmother was still well and cooking - I hear she was an awesome cook, but I don't really remember b/c I was a little kid and didn't understand the value of learning from my relatives. Hopefully I will get to learn from my mom, who is also an awesome cook! I only see her once or twice a year, so I should make the time count!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4002612879648972347.post-64158868487134530782008-10-07T06:37:00.000+02:002008-10-07T06:37:00.000+02:00I have never had ground cherries, I honestly don't...I have never had ground cherries, I honestly don't even think I have ever heard of them but I agree with you about the warm fruit and cold ice cream combination.Esihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16375984772198195200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4002612879648972347.post-81059836494821905132008-10-07T01:41:00.000+02:002008-10-07T01:41:00.000+02:00Lovely!

They were a bit more tart once poached, but out of hand they smelled kind of like pineapple but had a vaguely tomato-y taste, only sweeter. It's hard to described!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08402921195094964887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4002612879648972347.post-56172184908326442142008-10-06T21:05:00.000+02:002008-10-06T21:05:00.000+02:00ha thanks for the info.
