Ground Cherry Preserves

I stopped at a farmers market and picked up 2 pints of ground cherries. I had never tried nor heard of them before but thought I'd try to do something with them. I loosely followed this recipe, making it to fit the 2 pints that I had, and did do a couple of things differently. Half of the sugar I used brown sugar and half regular white sugar. I also swapped apple/raspberry juice for the water. It was easy and set up well; the color is yellowish-topaz. This is a very unique preserve for a very unique fruit. The taste is interesting--sweet and fruity, hard to peg if you've never had a ground cherry before. I think this fruit would taste excellent used in a chutney. I haven't had anyone else try it besides myself just yet but am planning on giving a jar to my mom who dove into a childhood story at the mention of the fruit. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
