I have not grown them but I found this page with this description.
Physalis peruviana (P. edulis) -- Cape gooseberry, goldenberry, poha, ground
cherry, winter cherry, strawberry tomato, gooseberry tomato -- A 1 1/2- to
three-foot-tall perennial native to the Andes that bears bright yellow
marble-sized edible fruits. Golden Berry is a larger (one-inch-diameter)
strain with a pineapple-strawberry flavor
