The native variety that grows in Indiana is the size of a jawbreaker and terribly bland. The unripe ones in the grocery store are even worse.Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09119555508989727176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28702549.post-20075003841324433802009-11-06T23:31:52.366-08:002009-11-06T23:31:52.366-08:00Ah, the snacking habit. Hard to break; better to convert to healthier foods, as you&#39;re finding. I&#39;m definitely a fan of persimmons with other things. A favorite combination in this house is wedges of persimmons draped or wrapped with paper-thin slices of good-quality air-dried ham, with an optional squeeze of lemon or lime and a grinding of black pepper.<br /><br />I&#39;ve also had them frozen, which is so refreshing on a hot day. A memorable lunch on a hot day in Seoul ended with a frozen persimmon (the round type, probably &quot;dam gam&quot; according to Wikipedia) with a bowl of sweet rice drink. I can highly recommend it -- and I&#39;ve got a recipe for the drink if you&#39;re interested. :)<br /><br />I&#39;m looking forward to trying your chip recipe.jacquiJBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09334561856637595360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28702549.post-92207965837491930912009-11-06T18:28:03.704-08:002009-11-06T18:28:03.704-08:00I love persimmons!

Just lost 8 kilo and am trying to &quot;relearn&quot; better snacking habits. These persimmons look and sound just right for me.

But the chips look tasty...and gorgeous.

Embarrassing as it is, in the past food was just as much about quantity as it was quality. So, I tried to gorge myself on fruits and veggies, which works...usually. I do well with honeydew, cantelope, banana slices drizzled in chocolate.<br /><br />But it nutritionally beats the cheez-its..or in my case, pop tarts.Mechanical Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10030885765711984759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28702549.post-13345824677509712152009-11-06T10:52:13.837-08:002009-11-06T10:52:13.837-08:00Oh my goodness!

Good luck with your controlled snacking, Garrett - it helps to be mindful, that&#39;s all. Or brew tea? I&#39;m heading out to the grocery store later today, so perhaps I&#39;ll pick up some - it&#39;ll be my first date with persimmons!<br /><br />I tried this with kiwis a month ago, even using lime juice as well, but didn&#39;t boil them in simple syrup first. What does that do to the fruit? Could my omission have been the reason the kiwis ended up sticky, kinda bitter, and rubbery instead of crunchy and sweet?nightowlchefhttp://nightowlchef.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28702549.post-69462330094535686852009-11-06T10:28:15.634-08:002009-11-06T10:28:15.634-08:00Some food looks delicious, some food looks interesting, these simply look beautiful, and who wouldn&#39;t love eating beautiful food!Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01596776438991698910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28702549.post-4375676865847030402009-11-06T07:41:19.595-08:002009-11-06T07:41:19.595-08:00I ate about half a bag of mint M&amp;Ms last night.
