Have 4 persimmon trees laden with fruit and would appreciate any other ideas to use them, thought the local food bank might like some but people dont seem to know what they are /our how to use them!they are lovely sweet fruit.

I wish Hastings wasn't so far away and across the water.

What about the charity shops!There people can pay a few cents for one or two to try and they won't be wasted.

Could you list and sell them!

Maybe fill bags with 6-8 or so persimmons, and include a note in each bag with suggestions for use, before taking to the foodbank. Let the staff know the note is there for each family.

ooh I saw persimmon used as a sorbet yesterday.
apparently you need really ripe ones then just freeze whole and when wanted take out of freezer about 5mins before slice in half and sprinkle with Ameretto and serve with creme fraiche which has had somne amaretto stirred through.

Looks great.
My persimmons are just about ready, so will definitely be trying this.
Thank you.
