Edible parts
Ripe fruits
Recipe idea for your ‘Ruby Ann’ F1 strawberry harvest. Prepare a compote of ripe berries to serve with yogurt or crêpes. Remove the stems, and the dry husks from ground cherries. Rinse the fruit, then place it in a small saucepan with just enough water to prevent sticking at the start. Heat gently and stir until the fruit begins to break down. Mash some of it with a spoon to leave a few pieces in the preparation. Taste before adding sugar, as the balance depends on the harvest. Let cool slightly, then serve a small portion over your chosen dessert or breakfast. For a thicker texture, continue cooking uncovered while stirring. Add a little lemon zest if you want to enhance the flavor without masking the fruit. Prepare a modest amount and store the cooled compote in the refrigerator in a sealed container.
