ground cherry pie

i made ground cherry pie. this is a strawberry picking flat i re-purposed to hold the cherries while they dried out for a week or two before husking them.


molly wanted to sniff them


peeled the husk back


fed it to molly. she gobbled it up too quick for the camera to catch.


bucket of ground cherries


husk for the compost bin


pie!




i use a pie shield to keep from overcooking the edges


pie


it turned out too sweet for my taste. too much sugar in the recipe, or my ground cherries must have been extra sweet. but my neighbors were delighted to have it.
