Gooseberry

Gooseberries, also known as Ground Cherries, are enclosed in papery husks, much like tomatillos, to protect the fruits from insects and cushion them when harvested. The fruit themselves look like a small yellow cherry tomato with a beautiful, waxy skin; they contain many small seeds. They are deliciously sweet and juicy and have a mild strawberry like flavor with tropical fruit and herbaceous overtones. Gooseberries continue to color and ripen once harvested. They should not be used until they have turned yellow or orange.
