PERSIMMONS! A Great, Simple Recipe For Enjoying Fresh Persimmons!
Posted by: Angela Leeds In: *LGS Daily Recipe|Breakfast|Desserts
I love persimmons. Where have they been all my life??? I could’ve kissed the grocery manager when I spotted him putting out a fresh basket loaded with those plump, soft, perfectly ripe orange globes. What a find.
If you’re like me and did not grow up enjoying this luscious fruit, here’s the skinny: pick squishy-ripe fruit, as you would a good juicy plum. And figure cutting into two fruits to enjoy as a snack for one person. And my recommendation: cut the skin off with a knife if you’re enjoying it au naturel, but keep the skin on (which is, again, very plum-like in texture) if you’re popping them into smoothies.
This recipe here is quick-n-delish way to enjoy them sliced up into small bite-size pieces… just a bit of lime and raw cane sugar (or good honey, if you prefer). Talk about “nature’s candy”… this is it! You could also — if you have a cupboard better stocked than mine at the moment — toss these babies with some orange blossom water. Heh-ven!!!
Shoot… make a nice, light summer meal out of this. And obviously… perfect for brekkies!
