 The "Lantern" Ground Cherries grew abundantly in our yard this year so we decided to make Jam like Laura Ingalls and her Mom and Sisters did (from the book) I think it was "Little Town on the Prairie" (or was it The Long Winter....hmmmm...Oh well, one of her wonderful books)!!! ;-)
 What a delectable treat! Sweet with a faint bitter. I must say that they taste ever so wonderful raw though!!  
Here is the reciept we followed from COOKS.COM
