These are small yellow berries in a thin husk and are officially labelled Cherry Tomatoes-they in no way taste like tomatoes but they are incredible in pies and preserves and made them years ago on the farm. No recipe in my files-farmers killed them as noxious weeds. bummer! Can you restore my faith in mankind.! marlyne B
