This is a California salad that I made for our first thanksgiving on the West coast. Each year, it is requested by friends as being one of their favorites. There are so many recipes for using persimmons such as cookies, cakes, puddings, salads, and dried fruit roll-ups. My next experiment will be a Persimmon Pudding in the fashion of our Brazilian friends Passion Fruit Pudding. Can you juice a persimmon? Hmmm….
Hachiya: Deeper orange color, sweet and slightly tangy, and you want to wait until they are liquidy-ripe and or else they will be bitter (these are my favorite choice for the salad).
Fuyu: Are short and squat, and a bit firmer than the Hachiya, with a honey sweetness when ripe.
