It has been a long time since we have posted on this blog. I guess we got out of the habit during the busy Christmas season. I'm excited to get back into the swing of things, and have many new ideas and recipes to share with you.
I have to admit, this post has been sitting in our draft folder since December. I hope you can still find imported persimmons in select grocery stores at this time of year, or feel free to substitute a fruit of your choice.
On our daily walk to the school bus we pass a persimmon tree. At first the boys thought they were mini-pumpkins, or oranges, but now they can pronounce "persimmon" with ease, and one has even requested a persimmon tree for his birthday. I wouldn't let them pick the fruit, and was too shy to knock on my neighbours' door and ask if we could have some. I now regret this decision as I see the frost-covered persimmons rotting on the tree. However, I was as curious as the boys about what they tasted like, so I bought some the next time I was at our local produce store.
