Physalis?? What to do with them?

Welshlassie

DH has just come home with a reduced punnet of Physalis. I've seen them are plate decoration, what else can I do with them??

I pull off the papery bits and eat them raw. You could try halving them and setting them in jelly. Or add them to a sauce for chicken or pork in a casserole.

Or even better, pull off the papery bits, and dip the yellow fruit in melted dark chocolate before eating......

I definitely echo dipping them in dark chocolate. Absolutely stunning especially if the are nice and tart.

Just eat them! My absolute favourite fruit, I think - delicious!

I've grown them from seeds I have three lovely plants in the garden and loads of fruit, the packet of seeds cost £2.15 and my mum has four of my plants in her allotment. We call them syphillis 'cos it makes us chuckle.

I absolutely adore these.
Pray tell where you bought the seeds from, please.

I've got Cape Gooseberry - Little Lantern. These are good for growing in pots because the plant doesn't get too big.
I hope you have the same success as me and my mum.
