Ground Cherry and Chamomile Jam

Ingredients
  • 6 cups Ground Cherries husked and washed
  • 3 cups Sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups wildflower honey
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 2 cups chamomile tea
Instructions
  1. Combine sugar, honey, water and lemon juice in a large heavy sauce pan and bring to a boil. Add ground cherries and simmer for about 5 minutes or until most cherries have burst open. Remove from heat and mash with a large spoon to ensure fruit is broken up.
  2. Transfer to a large bowl and cover with a parchment paper (don’t let the paper touch the fruit). Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  3. Take two cups of fruit mixture and strain through a fine mesh strainer, using a spoon as needed to push as much liquid through as possible. Transfer strained liquid along with the unstrained fruit mixture back to the saucepan and return to a boil. Add chamomile infusion, simmer until proper consistency and can.
