Chinese-lantern (Physalis alkekengi)
http://www.durgan.org/ShortURL/?LYUID 14 October 2008 Chinese-lantern (Physalis alkekengi)
The fruit is eaten raw and used for snacks. The taste is different from most fruits, but more than acceptable. I never tried cooking, but will when a few more fruit ripen.

Some were beat up in the blender and added to other fruits to make juice. Some were eaten raw. I don't suppose they have any real use other than variety in the diet. Some of the other ground cherries, like Aunt Molly Ground Cherry , and the Giant Cape Gooseberry are more palatable.
