Seasonal Fruit: Persimmon

Looks like a tomato.  Tastes like a dream.

October/November is persimmon season.  Gone by December!

 I just noticed that they sell them at the fruit stands in my neighborhood for cheap!  The ones they sell are the fuyu variety (squat like a pumpkin).  There is also a longer, acorn shaped variety called the hachiya.  Both yum.

Tips:
1.  Only eat ripe.  It should be a little soft.  It is SUGARY SWEET and delicious :)
2.  You may or may not like the thick skin.  I don't.  I spoon the meat out of the skin.
