Persimmon Pie, anyone?


So my experience with persimmons goes like this: I've never tried them. All I know is that my dear mother in law just tore down her persimmon tree in her backyard, which produced quite lovely persimmons that looked really good in a bowl on the table. But she didn't like them, and had no luck with them, so down it went...

Apparently, though, she did this too soon. Because the wildcard fruit in my veggie & fruit coop recently was persimmons, and I tried a pie with them, and was quite pleased. It's much like pumpkin pie, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. So, if you've wondered what to do with those odd little beauties, try this next time. There are lots of recipes on cooks.com, which is where I found mine.

well, I do love the color. . .and the tree had carpenter ants, I think. Great job-delicious pie!
