GROUND CHERRY PIE



Ground Cherry Pie image

We bought ground cherries at our local farmer's market last weekend...They looked so interesting and had such a unique taste. After searching and searching, I found a few recipes for ground cherry pie. This combines the best of a few different recipes. We didn't have quite enough ground cherries to make a large pie, so I used a silicone cupcake mold and made mini pies. Delicious served alone or with icecream!

Tips:

  • Use ripe ground cherries: Ripe ground cherries will have a sweet, tangy flavor and will be easy to remove from their husks. To test if a ground cherry is ripe, gently squeeze it. If it yields to pressure, it is ripe.
  • Handle ground cherries gently: Ground cherries are delicate, so handle them gently to avoid bruising.
  • Pre-bake the pie crust: Pre-baking the pie crust will help to prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Use a mixture of cornstarch and flour for the filling: This will help to thicken the filling and prevent it from being too runny.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the pie to hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Ground cherry pie is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for summer. With its sweet-tart flavor and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a new dessert to try, give ground cherry pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
