      Mark, I watch your videos and Sky News reports. I'm very interested in your opinion of the on going drought and reports I'm hearing out of Australia. I think a video about it would drive home the importance of being self sufficient.

    Mark is a force of Nature :) He is equivalent to the late crocodile hunter Steve Irwin - an Australian icon and Mark deserves to be so. Mark has got the voice, the look and the personality to go worldwide. I can see it now...tv series, country and state tours showcasing Australia, gardening, recipes, book releases, defence force talk, and many more. Mark I hope you get billions and live to be 200. Keep up the good work.

      To be compared to the late great Steve Irwin is indeed generous! What a legend and he still lives on in most of us I reckon. I'm not sure I have the talent to do any of those things but I certainly will be happy enough to keep creating videos as long as I can and for as long as people want to keep watching them. Thank you :)

    We call them ground cherries here in the Southern US. Just started growing them this year, very excited, and I will definitely try this recipe!

    • @miss_mish
      @miss_mish 2 роки тому +5

      Ground cherries have a solid coloured skin, cape gooseberries are translucent. There is also a variation in taste with the cape gooseberry being a little more tart. Many people call them the same thing but there are slight differences in appearance and taste.

    I was moved to buy a local's gooseberry plant, as they remind my of my nan and pop's place when we were kids - going and raiding them and "unwrapping" them was the best fun. Now I have a recipe to try out once it gets into gear, thanks Mark!!

  • @hopspops

    Just got all my gooseberries out of my new tunnel house as they suffocated all other vegetable and strawberries. A force of nature. As they are still green and we've got the first frost already in the centre of New Zealand. I don't want to waste 15kg of fruit. Some are as big as tomatoes. So I cooked them with ginger, lime juice, sugar and a tiny bit of water into jams and fruit preserves. We had a bit of the preserves on vanilla ice cream - delicious. No hallucinations or stomach pain. I also preserve green tomatoes with an Italian recipe - the ones that don't make it to get red and it is very much appreciated by friends and neighbours like a chutney. The secret is probably to cook them as night shade vegetables should not be eaten raw?
    Thanks to the new idea. I'll try my green cape gooseberries / Physalis with Mike's recipe as a side dish like my tomatoes.

    Hi, Mark. Love your channel, but I'll never have a garden as big as yours, ha-ha. I'm always looking for new, interesting ways to cook chicken, so this video inspired me to plant a few cape gooseberry seeds to start in my mini-greenhouse this winter (in California). I thought cape gooseberries were only good for making jam, and I don't know how. Your video showed me they're useful for other things, like a new chicken recipe. I'm very grateful to you for expanding what I cook for supper!

    I have ridiculous amounts of these at the moment, fantastic sliched on pizza or focacia.
    They freeze ok too.
    I use these with tamarillo pulp, red onion, fresh coriander, feijoa, chilli and a lime juice/brownsugar dressing.
    Blows minds. My favourite salad/salsa.
    Might even forgo a baked spud for this one..

    • @miss_mish
      @miss_mish 2 роки тому +2

      Ground cherries and cape gooseberries aren't the same things whilst regularly used interchangeably they are infact different. My research indicates the cape gooseberry has a more translucent colour and the ground cherry a more solid colour and there is also slight variations in taste. I've recently planted the ground cherry so I can see which one I prefer the taste of as the cape gooseberry is apparently more tart than the ground cherry.

    We grew up with them, but knew them as ground cherries! My mom made the best jam with them. We always enjoyed her jam/sauce over vanilla ice cream! In Florida I had a great harvest of them last summer grown in wood chips, I also grew them in Hawaii in my garden - they’re known as Poha Berries in Hawaii. Whatever you call them, they’re delicious!

    I grew one of these ages ago it was pulled out but then comes up anywhere around the garden around where the original was. . And they are much tougher than tomatoes and dont need any fertilizer. they are sometimes sour but if you let them ripen for long enough they have a tart flavor thats not too bad. Why not try them with apricots an apricot chicken cape gooseberry mix sounds ok.

    I have a jam recipe for cape gooseberries that I make every year.
    I found the secret in getting them to grow ..... Just through the old berries ( you forgot was in the fridge) were you don't want them to grow. Then once they come up decide that is where you want them to be. They can take over a patch and get very droopy...

    Season with a good splashing of olive oil and garlic put the lid on and cook slowly mmmmmmm they just cook in their own juices , then cook some penne pasta and mix together once the pasta is cooked sprinkle parmigiana and yummy it’s my fav 🥰

  • @sarahjoyce5518
    @sarahjoyce5518 3 роки тому

    Oh man, yes they do survive heat so well. I started with 1 plant in 2019 they survive through most of our gulf coast weather in swampy spring and extreme summer when my tomatoes die off that are in ground. Couple years later though and I have ground cherry plants.... everywhere.... so many plants now. They reseed themselves and whatever the birds have taken end up elsewhere.
    I would try some honey instead of the granular sugar though. The flavor is much deeper and richer with it. And a squeeze of something citrus in the marinade too. It also goes well with apricot salsa as an addition to it. Groundcherry, apricot and basil salsa with some nice fire roasted chiles chopped up.

    Beautiful cherry tomatoes! They look exactly like mine I’m still harvesting in South Texas. Mine are heirlooms so yellows, purple, red and green. I have pictures and I’m so proud because it’s my first garden and I planted them a little late which is why I’m still harvesting. The plants have almost played out so these are my last.
