This isn't strictly speaking a cooking question, but does anyone here grow persimon fruit? There is a persimon tree in the garden of or rented house in italy. I havn't seen it yet but DH tells me it is laden with unripe fruit. I was wondering what season these normally ripen in and whether the fruit will ripen at all, or stay green on the tree...as it is definitely Autumn now! Or perhaps like figs, there are two crops, and this crop will ripen NEXT summer? I hope so. I love them.
I have only had them raw....can you do anything else with them?
