I love ripe persimmons. Can eat several a day in the season.
And the dried persimmons are great any time. They taste much like dates when they are properly dried. It is quite a bit of work to peal, hang and roll each persimmon regularly in the drying process. The end product is amazing.
I wonder if I could just pick off the stem, cut in half and dry them as is. Pick the seeds out later when I eat them?
You get so little out of the little ping pong ball size when you try to do anything but just eat them.
