We have a lot of persimmons and I hate to see them going to waste, any ideas on what to do with them?

Thanks

Speaking of persimmons has anyone had a frost yet and checked out what the inside of the persimmon says as far as the spoon knife or fork? We haven't had our first frost yet.

Ok, what do you mean as far as the spoon, the fork or the knife? I've nevre heard of this before. The persimmon spice cake is delicious, try with a fresh cup of coffee, sit back with a few close friends and mmmmmmmmm.

Persimmon Cake

 

Beat together one stick of butter, two cups brown sugar. Beat in two ex-ex large eggs (or half a cup of banty eggs, or two extra-large eggs and a spare yolk or white), plus two teaspoons vanilla, plus juice of half a lemon. When fluffy, stir in pulp of four large or five smallish Kaki persimmons. (Remove any grotty-looking dark seeds.) Stir in two cups of self-rising flour, a quarter teaspoon of baking powder, and either two teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice or up to a teaspoon of some cool spice mix you've been looking for a place to use. (Ras el hanout? Five spice? Warning--if you're experimenting with something that might be potent, take it very lightly so you don't make a block of chicken food out of this cake.) Stir in a cup of chopped pecans if you have them and like them. Stir in a cup of raisins or chopped dried figs if you have them and like them. Bake like pound cake. It's heavy and good.

You can freeze them whole (set them blossom-end down on a biscuit pan and freeze, then wrap and bag) or measure puree by the cup, adding a little lemon juice, and freeze in zipper-lock bags.
