From Denny: Persimmons. Look forward to these every year when they are in season? Just when you start to forget they exist, then, suddenly they show up in the grocery store. Pretty much the story of our lives as there is so much abundance around us in the harvest time. That sends you hurriedly searching yet again for a great persimmon recipe. So, you end up here at this food blog, right? :)
Seriously, these great recipes were recently featured in our local newspaper by an avid persimmon grower with a beautiful persimmon tree in her Louisiana yard, offering great advice on growing and cooking persimmons. One tree yields a lot of yummy tasty treats to enjoy baking into awesome goodness! This year her persimmon tree almost broke her record; it produced over 1,500 persimmons.
After a record amount one year, the persimmon tree will take a break next year and produce less. After harvest, prune the house high tree because you will want it to branch out as much as possible. Pruning is what keeps a tree producing a lot and prolongs its life for many years. It's often difficult to reach the fruit at the top of tree so just leave it as food for your neighborhood birds. They will be sure to thank you!...
Celebrate Chocolate every day as a holiday!
