Fall Means Persimmon Puddin' TimeRead the article this discussion is about
This archived discussion is "read only". « Previous 1 2 3 4 5 Next » » earlytimes - Persimmons Hi Renie,I can't recall what a Persimmon tastes like. Maybe I never had one. I guess I should look for persimmons on the produce aisle. Your pear article had me eating pears, now it's persimmons. You should get a kick back from the National Fruit Growers Association. Great article, hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving.

Hehe, a kickback from the fruit growers would be nice! You think I'd have a chance for that? Probably not. Oh well, I am used to being on the "poor" side. Thanks for coming by, Earl. Take care.

Oh, you must have tasted unripe persimmons. And yes, you never forget that taste! Not very pleasant. I think it's wonderful to grow fruit for their beauty. Then after you paint them, you can also eat them. Double-pleasure! Thanks so much for coming by, Crabapple, and your lovely comments. Hope you are getting along well. Take care! Renie -- posted by Renie_Burghardt » kcruver - Never heard of them. Well, I have heard the word 'persimmon' before, but I didn't know what it meant. In fact, your picture is the first I've ever seen of a persimmon. So there's my new bit of knowledge for the day. They sound yummy--do you think I could get ahold of some up here in the chillier northern states? I'm sure going to try. I love your recipe articles, but they sure do make my stomach growly. Until later!-- posted by kcruver » Renie_Burghardt - Re: Never heard of them. In response to message posted by kcruver:Hey Kendahl, never had a persimmon? I think you can find the Asian persimmons in the stores at this time of the year. They are pretty good, but not as good as the wild ones. Thanks so much for coming by. Hope all is well with you, Kendahl! Renie -- posted by Renie_Burghardt » RosemaryBasil - More yums from Renie Weed tree, lol This is a wonderful tree. I saw my first one in my new neighborhood. It is so beautiful and very old. Your photos are great. I love your tree articles and recipes. Keep up the good work!Rose -- posted by RosemaryBasil » Renie_Burghardt - Re: More yums from Renie In response to message posted by RosemaryBasil:Hi Rosemary, yes indeed, persimmons can get large and beautiful. They have very attractive bark. In the country, they can grow close together in large patches, and that's when they consider it a weed tree. You know, critters eat the persimmons, drop the seeds, and new trees grow! Hehe. Glad you enjoyed the article. Always a pleasure to see you, my friend. Take care. Renie -- posted by Renie_Burghardt » Linda_Wilson - Oh, Renie! Oh, Renie! What memories you brought back! In our early years of marriage, my husband and I used to drive up to the sleepy little Southern Indiana town of Bean Blossom every Fall. There was a huge country market (almost as big as the town) with stand after stand of produce. The sweet smell of ripe persimmons filled the air. I never ventured to buy any. We were after pumpkins, mums, and apples on a limited budget. But the fragrance made a lasting impression.I may have to hunt down some persimmons and make a batch of your persimmon puddin' now! -- posted by Linda_Wilson » Renie_Burghardt - Re: Oh, Renie! In response to message posted by Linda_Wilson:Hi Linda, I hope you find some persimmons, and the wild ones are the best for the pudding. Thank you for coming by.
