This year I had so many that I was looking for recipes yesterday. Just made it - very tasty. I had to simmer mine for about 90 minutes to get a jam consistency - maybe the kind of ground cherry that I grow are just more watery - Pineapple and Goldie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5707738409244548852.post-14848135371418151712010-09-22T20:46:03.762-04:002010-09-22T20:46:03.762-04:00I love ground cherries - physalis or cape gooseber...I love ground cherries - physalis or cape gooseberries in the UK, where I come from) but we usually eat them raw with blackberries and such from the garden. But I tried this tonight for the dessert for my wife's birthday and served it warm over home-made caramel/peanut/vanilla ice cream (following rotisseried organic chicken with mashed potatoes, swiss chard and beets - all from our garden, since you ask and served with a 2005 Puligny-Montrachet). It was divine and I have bottled the left-over compote for winter. I am still harvesting the ground cherries and should get another 8 or 10 cups before they stop ripening.

Had to check that vanilla was "kosher" for our pre-1878 date, which it turns out to be!

You will notice that most blogs don't have a "print recipe" option. Some do, but I don't have the know-how right now to add this option to my blog. However, what I usually do when I want to print a recipe from a website is select the text I need, copy it (ctrl-c) and then paste it (ctrl-v) into a word processing application such as Microsoft Word or WordPad. Then you can print only that page of text, or save it onto your hard drive for later. Hope this helps and enjoy the compote. :)LyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17504659088765433358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5707738409244548852.post-970616106548586002008-09-07T15:17:00.000-04:002008-09-07T15:17:00.000-04:00I want to try the recipe, but had to print 8 pages...I want to try the recipe, but had to print 8 pages just to get the recipe. Could you add an option to print just the recipe? The vanilla sounds good for a first time ground cherry jam maker. My husband and children are out picking the ground cherries right now.
