Ground Cherry Pie image

The firm fruit which is nestled in a husk, is about the size of a cherry, and looks like a green tomato..though the color varies from green to yellow to red... I think it also resembles a Mexican tomatilla..you will need pastry for a 2 crust 9" pie

I'm not a fan of ground cherries, but this pie was surprisingly good! The filling was sweet and tart, and the crust was flaky and buttery. I'd definitely make this pie again, even though I don't like ground cherries.

This pie is okay, but it's not my favorite. The ground cherries give it a strange flavor that I'm not a fan of. I also found the crust to be a bit too dry.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out well. The crust was too hard and the filling was too runny. I'm not sure what went wrong.
