Have you tried persimmons? Popular in Japan, persimmons look like little orange tomatoes on the outside, with sweet, slightly musky flesh on the inside. Fresh persimmons would taste fabulous with a dollop of honey and a sprinkle of sea salt. Or you could cook them down into a compote and make a sweet/savory cheese garnish. I use a persimmon puree (with a hearty dose of brandy) to make Persimmon Pudding, a dense, moist cake. The bright orange slices look so festive when arranged on top!
What are your favorite fall fruits? Anything unusual?
