They’re in the stores now. So crisp and tasty. Get ‘em while the getin’s good – they’re seasonal. When I was a kid in Missouri we got them from trees. But only after a hard frost. Else a pucker like you wouldn’t believe! Serious about crackers | ||

Love them. Look forward to them every year. Prefer the fuyu but like the hachiya as well. There is a farm in the region that makes hoshigaki (Japanese style dried hachiya) - expensive but tremendously nostalgic. Look forward to that as well. Don’t know the name but I also like the Korean persimmon beverage. "Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it."

I remember as a young chap while out walking in the woods with my father and 3 younger brothers when father offered youngest brother a green persimmon... Well he took a bite / spit out what he could / then pulled out his shirt tail and tried to wipe the taste out of his mouth... Talk about pucker power... Everybody thought it was funny except the one who bit the green persimmon. ............... drill sgt. | |||

The one thing about persimmons is you gots to wait until they're fully ripe, even slightly over ripe. If I bite too soon, not only is the taste off, but my throat is scratchy for an hour. | |||

We have Persimmon trees on our property. The Deer got to them before I had a chance to pick some up. It's always great fun watching someone bite into one for the first time.

About 20 years ago I planted about a dozen in the back of my property. I see a few of them on the trees finally but never get any due to the deer and trash bandits. Little bastards! The damn persimmon pulp at the local orchard is expensive but boy it makes GREAT cookies! | |||

^^^^^^^^ I hadn’t known of persimmon cookies before. Guess I was living under a rock. Many recipes on the web: https://www.allrecipes.com/rec...persimmon-cookies-i/ Serious about crackers | |||

I love persimmons. I get some seeds from the dozens that I’ve eaten and now I have 14 germinated seeds. Hopefully, they will grow and I can plant them in my hunting property. | |||

Thanks much for your kind offer Phil, but I have to decline. First, I’m not a baker. Second, I have no idea where I’d find persimmon pulp. I’ll be on the look-out for persimmon cookies in stores though. A very different cookie, I think. Serious about crackers | |||

My sister in law grows them in her backyard in CA. We've had some sent over. Some people around here are unfamiliar with them. I just like them peeled and sliced.

^^^^^^^^ I buy the fuyu persimmons. They’re perfectly good unpeeled. Very thin skin. Serious about crackers | |||

Well, FUYU too!  I did not know that. Something else new I learned from SigForum. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us.

I used to get some from trees on the golf course. You have to be fast because the birds like them. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Yup, you eat the skins, just like on an apple. | |||
