My Ground Cherry Ketchup

---

This is a wonderful recipe that i created with a small quantity of ground cherries that i produced in the summer of 2004. Ground cherries are those little golden yellow fruits, latin name physalis peruviana (for a picture, http://www.flickr.com/photos/24030963@n05/2799007503/). Enjoy it with sausages, ham, pork or lamb chops, meatloaves or even on a cream cheesed bagel!!
