Baked Persimmon Delight


First select Fuyu persimmons. Look for the ones that are yellow-orange in color, and firm to the touch. Persimmons are a fall/winter fruit so nuts such as hazelnuts, almonds, and walnuts go well with them, as do dried fruits like raisins and prunes.

I put the cut up fruit and freshly ground nuts in ceramic bakeware already coated with butter in the oven set at 400 degrees.

2 Fuyu persimmons
1 Fuji apples
1 handful raw almonds and walnuts
½ - 1 inch piece Organic Valley’s Pasture Butter

The proportion of fruits and nuts are general, adjust according to taste, you can also add raw honey, cinnamon, or nutmeg.

Beginning to end times varies, but the treat will take approximately 20-30 minutes.
