>> Wednesday, September 3, 2014
Do you have those gorgeous golden ground cherries in your CSA basket? Do you have absolutely no idea what to do with them? We chop them into our salads and Ada eats them up by the pint-ful. But if you want to do something bit special, try this quick jam recipe.
It would go perfectly in place of blueberry in Brie Grilled Cheese!
