My Ground Cherry Ketchup
"This is a wonderful recipe that I created with a small quantity of ground cherries that I produced in the summer of 2004. Ground cherries are those little golden yellow fruits, Latin name Physalis peruviana (for a picture, http://www.flickr.com/photos/24030963@N05/2799007503/). Enjoy it with sausages, ham, pork or lamb chops, meatloaves or even on a cream cheesed bagel!"

I love this recipe but I made it without the "marinating spices" because I couldn't imagine what to use! It is especially good with goat cheese on rice cakes. Does anyone have any suggestions for appropriate spicing??
