Persimmons

[Rajun Gardener]

I picked all of the persimmons since we have a freeze coming next week. They ripen nicely on the counter just like tomatoes. It's been a great harvest from all of the fruit trees, I think the winter we had helped.

I made a small batch of persimmon wine about a week ago and it taste good considering it's only on day 7. I racked it this morning to remove the pulp and it should clear up with a little time on the shelf. I see a 5 gallon bucket ferment coming in about a week when these get ripe.
