At the Market Husk Cherries, A Sweet Find

Meet the husk cherry, often referred to as a husk tomato.  Encased within tissue-like paper, this fruit has the sweetest and most unique taste - it is a cross to me between the ripest piece of corn and a pineapple.  While they are fun to unwrap (almost like unwrapping candy) they are quite enjoyable to eat alone.  They can also be incorporated into various recipes - see below.  Scoop these up if you see them because they don't last long!
