Notes

  1. Try to have all the ingredients chopped small, so that one flavor does not overtake the bite.
  2. Do not substitute Balsamic Glaze with Balsamic Vinegar.
  3. The reason for making this a single serving recipe is that you may be harvesting the fruit and may not have enough for more that one serving at the moment. 
  4. This will provide a quick and delicious recipe to use your ground cherries that you don't eat right off the plant.
  5. ENJOY!!!!
