You need a certain amount of sugar to ensure it will gel and preserve, but I am willing to attempt making it with less. As for the brown sugar, I am sorry it wasn’t appealing to you!

I use one cup white sugar to 5 1/2 pounds of ground cherries. Using brown sugar gives the ground cherries an odd flavor in my opinion. I’ll never use brown sugar again, as it distracts from the wonderful flavor of the berries.

I do occasionally use them in a salad but haven’t cooked with them.

It’s something we actually have a couple of species of growing in our local park (the one where we volunteer). The reason they taste at least somewhat like tomatoes and/or tomatillos is that all of them are members of the nightshade family. I don’t think I realized that ground cherries were edible. Thank you for educating me.
