Miraculous fruit of nature; persimmon

Good morning from a rainy day,

Persimmon is one of the valuable gift of nature to human. I believe in as doesn't get evaluate enough by people.

Like kiwi, almost every garden has persimmon tree. As wrote before, they wait until they are ripe enough then eat with a spoon but that's it.

A big part of the persimmon fruits do not have strength hence you can not store them for a long time, will be rotten quickly. With me; I have plenty different products of persimmons;

To peel and dry them; this one takes a bit time; has to dry slowly then the sugar of the fruit (that white powder on it) will appear. With this way you can store up to ine year (this is what I tested, can be longer) in the fridge. As far as I know, in Asia it is very popular to consume. 

Slice and dry them in the oven. Also this has to be done slowly; I am using the oven of the wood stove. More less two trays per night. You can keep in the fridge and consume more less in 3 months. Can be stored longer if you have a vacuum package equipment. 

Marmalade of persimmons; using the ripped persimmons. Clean them, mesh with blender and cook with some sugar. Adding a few cloves inside while cooking and taking out before I put them in jars. 

Vinegars; I should filter within 15 days but completely forgot when I was taking care of with sick kitten and puppies. Stayed in jars around 25 days; maybe that's why the colour changed to this one or maybe this is the right colour, I do not know yet, first time I tried to make vinegar from persimmon. Planning to evaluate with salads and also drink with warm water time to time.

This year I am quite timeless, otherwise would love to make persimmon flowers as I made last year...

Do not want to bother with benefits of this amazing fruit but please have a look to internet. Today, a big part of the people ignored nature and cook at home. And even evaluate the sources. 

Take care and stay safe,
