Wednesday Lagniappe: A Bowl Full of Sweetness
Can't you just taste them? (A few more blemishes than usual, I blame the rainy summer, but oh, so tasty!) I am going to dehydrate these in slices (no seeds in these babies). You need firm fruit to dehydrate, and these non-astringent persimmons are sweet while still firm. To dehydrate Asian persimmons, slice in 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick slices and place on a dehydrator at 120-130 degrees. To peel or not to peel is up to you. I love dried persimmons! (For more info on growing Asian persimmons, search this blog for "persimmons").
Happy gardening!
