I think that Ground Cherries, or Tomatillos, is what is meant here. Jean

Thanks to Dorene for clearing up the confusion! :) Kyle Dorene, When I first read Kyle's post, "You might also consider ground cherries, which have a citrus-y/pineapple >flavor. They're relatively easy to grow & would work in PA," I scratched my head and wondered, "How will grinding up cherries make them have a citrus-y/pineapple taste?" Your post cleared that up for me. Ignorance ain't bliss. For folks like me who thought that you had to grind up cherries: >From the "Victory Seed Catalog" - just scroll down to "ground cherry." http://www.victoryseeds.com/catalog/vegetable/tomato/tomato_other.html "Ground Cherry, Cossack Pineapple (Physalis primosa) 60 - 80 days - This is a East European cousin of the Mexican tomatillo. The plants reach about 12 inches in height and spread into a bush about 24 inches in diameter. Loaded with small fruit (about 1/2" in diameter), in husks, that have a pineapple flavor and are good in pies and jams." "Ground Cherry, New Hanover (Physallis spp) 70 to 90 days - An old Pennsylvania Dutch strain. Very similar in size and shap to Cossack Pineapple. Light yellow fruit tasting similar to tomatillos with a subtly citrus of lemony taste" Dorene, which of the above do you use, please?
