It could also be used in cookie recipes where you place jelly in or one the cookie. Anyone else have any ideas?

Its what makes it stand out as a salsa, it takes on seasonings very well. In specialty markets, farmers markets or larger grocery stores you can find them, They stand out by the thin paper husk they are covered with. They are green when just ripe and will turn a light yellow when very ripe.

But I do LOVE tomatoes. Does it taste similar to the tomato? And, where do you find one? Is it in the local grocery store's produce aisle or do you have to go to an ethnic market to get it? What does it look like--I mean how would I be able to distinguish it from the tomator I'm more familiar with? Have you thought about talking about this in a live teleseminar? I think it would be a great topic for gardeners and aspiring gardners, alike. d I am not familiar with the tomatillo. But I do LOVE tomatoes. Does it taste similar to the tomato?
