Any ideas on what to do with persimmons? |
|
A friend gave us a bag of persimmons yesterday off his tree. I've never done anything with them and wondered if anyone had any good ideas for them. There's a whole bunch of them and I hate to see them go to waste.
Any suggestions?

Some varieties are astringent and don't lose that quality until they are very mushy soft-ripe. I've seen recipes for persimmon bread and persimmon pudding that would be good for this type.
The flatter Japanese varieties are non-astringent and are sweet and tasty even when they are still firm. With this kind I've made a pretty good salad with sliced persimmons, walnuts and arugula and a simple oil and vinegar dressing.
