Japanese persimmons
Anyone have any ideas about what to do with these things. My DIL's
neighbor has given her loads of the things and she is bringing them with her when they come to visit next week. Help!!! -- Susan N. "Moral indignation is in most cases two percent moral, 48 percent indignation, and 50 percent envy." Vittorio De Sica, Italian movie director (1901-1974 |

If they're Fuyu's you can eat them out of hand like an apple. If they're the heart shaped kind they have to be dead ripe to eat. My wife freezes the whole fruit in a muffin tin, takes one at a time out to thaw and then eats it partially thawed, like persimmon sherbet. There are a million persimmon recipes on the web. I've downloaded recipes for simmon pie, cake, cookies, etc. I particularly like the simmon pie my wife makes with them. Very versatile fruit, the round Fuyu's have a sweet taste and the heart shaped ones are somewhat astringent until fully ripe. I put up persimmon jam one year that was particularly good. Unfortunately my Fuyu tree sets a ton of fruit and the !@#$% squirrels and grackles get them all. This year I've purchased bird netting for all four of my fruit trees, the birds and squirrels evidently don't like citrus as they never bother the lemon or the kumquat trees. Good luck with them.

Persimmons are delicious. I would add them to pound cake, or to any
other cake mix, even if you use boxed cake mix. They make cakes moist and tasty. Becca |

Have you tried http://www.persimmonpudding.com? It looks like a new site. But, I recently used a couple recipes from that site and they were quite good. |

As he says they have to be dead ripe to eat. Do not eat any of the peel - even if you think they are dead ripe. It contains most of the astringent and you will *never* forget the experience.

Or you can anaerobically ripen them and not worry about all that. Wrap them in two or three layers of plastic wrap and hold them at about 100F for 24 hours. That will almost always ripen any persimmon, cultivated or wild. If it hasn't after the time, do it for another 24. I use a heating pad in my turned-off oven for the task. In Japan, they ripen them in sealed sake barrels where evaporating alcohol from the wood creates an atmosphere low in oxygen. Pastorio |

Dried persimmons are a specialty particular to Hisamatsu; and I've seen pictures of every house having racks and racks and racks of them. B/ |
