Hi all. I got three Persimmons in my produce box. I have never had one/used one. Does anyone have any ideas on this one? Good recipes? Do you just eat them? They are Fuyu Persimmons.

If you can refrain from eating them as a snack....I'd suggest adding them to a salad or in a sauce like cranberries. But they are a special treat around here, so eating them raw would be how we would eat them....or in a frozen drink or sherbet. Although, I seem to remember William talking about a pie? Then there is the idea of infusing them in tea.....YUM!

Wow, been a lot of years since I've thought about and hated persimmons!! We had a big tree when the kids were growing up and because I only made cookies with them, there were always loads on the ground getting more and more mushy.

That's when my kids would have persimmon fights. I'd have to hose them off before they could get to the bathtub. yuck!

I think all I used them for because they weren't our favorite fruit was cookies and bar cookies. Have no recipe anymore, tho.

On second thought, a few years ago I did do a gastrique with some that we must have been given. a recipe from Kelly Johnson.

Alina, you might need to edit your recipe. It looks like the ingredients are listed twice.

Never, ever had a persimmon in my life. I had to look it up. I was thinking kumkwat, which I hate. Hmmmm, more of a tomato-like creature...
