Husk Cherries!

Husk cherries, ground cherries, cape gooseberries- whatever you want to call them- are going out of season. You must get them while you can! You might have overlooked these little fruits, as they can easily hide beneath their husks. But you can’t let the last of the season go without trying a few. All you have to do is peel off their paper husks, and then pop them into your mouth. They are almost nutty in taste, with only a slight sweetness. It would be hard for me to compare their taste to anything that I have ever had before, as they are nowhere near as sweet or acidic as a berry. I went to go buy a bunch the other day and found out that the farmer who was selling them to me had picked the last that she was going to pick for the season. You can store them for up to a month in your kitchen, meaning you can stock up. And so I repeat- Get them while you can!
