I for one was happy to see them in our basket again this week. Mostly because that means I get to make Persimmon Salsa again! We love salsa around here in many and all varieties and regular ole salsa jazzed up with some hot orange Persimmon did not disappoint our eyes (isn't persimmon the prettiest color?) or our taste buds.
PERSIMMON SALSA
8 tomatilloes
4-5 persimmon
1 onion
garlic, fresh or garlic salt (or both!)
1/2 serrano pepper (these peppers are smaller than jalapenos but are much hotter. Add gradually. The 1/2 pepper was almost too much for my kiddos. But they still ate it!)
juice of 2 limes
cilantro
Chop and dice it all up (or be lazy like me and throw it in the food processor!) Taste it and adjust any flavors spices as needed.
This salsa could be made with red tomatoes as well. Or as an all fruit salsa and served with cinnamon sugar tortilla chips.

My family eats them plain, like biting into an apple. So delicious!
We tried this recipe:

for persimmon bread. I ommitted the nuts- not a nut person in baking. The two loaves only lasted a couple days- my family LOVED it. It's very simple...next time I'm going to add chocolate chips.
We love ours raw, cooked, you name it. WE.LOVE.PERSIMMONS.
