Judy Witts Francini sent me this amazing persimmon mojito link. Yum. http://cookingupastorminca.ning.com/profiles/blogs/persimmon-mojitos-for-everyone

Joanna Hamil suggested a “Korean recipe with dried persimmon, sugar, cinnamon, pinenuts. It’s a cold dessert soup.”

And Sarah Weiner brought up Indiana Persimmon Pudding.

Thanks for all these tips!

I admire your persistence and determination in finding ways to enjoy something that is otherwise unpalatable!

I have a very fecund tree in our orchard and, though it makes sense to buy persimmons I might enjoy better, it also seems a waste not to use the ones I have for free :(

I don’t know if they’re available in Umbria, (lack of availability would make this comment completely pointless), but if you could find the non-astringent persimmons, you might enjoy them as fully as you think you should. I don’t have quite as high an opinion of LdC, anymore. I would have agreed with you completely if I’d never seen him after What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?, in which his performance was brilliant.
