Physalis Pruinosa It really tastes like a pineapple! The large spreading plants are 3' across and covered with hundreds of fruit that are quite different from other tomatillos. They are only about 3/4" in diameter and soft so they are great for eating fresh. They tend to fall from the plant when ripe. Great for preserves and pies.
The fruit of these plants resemble Chinese Lanterns. The tomato-like fruit grows to about 2" inside a papery husk. Harvest when the tomatillo is just turning yellow. They will be hard. Can be stored for 1 or 2 months in a cool dry place. Use partially or completely cooked in different Mexican sauces. Grow plants as you would tomatoes. Ultimate height will be 4', so provide good support. Very prolific producers.
