We started growing ground cherries (also known as husk cherries) a few years ago, and not knowing how productive they would be, I planted 4 plants. These produced a ridiculous amount of fruit, and after eating and giving away as many of them as we could, as well as freezing quite a few, they were still producing and I was at a loss as to what to do with them.
Fortunately, my awesome husband found me the amazing recipe below, and I've made at least one big batch of ground cherry jam every summer since!
This is my go-to recipe and I've never used any others - I love it as it's super simple, tastes amazing, and is also low-sugar. I would describe this jam as tasting like "if caramel was a fruit and you made jam out of it". However, for even more rich caramel-y flavor, try using demerara or turbinado sugar. YUM!
