RECIPE BY Cooking Light

Unlike soft, plum tomato–shaped Hachiya persimmons, squat, round Fuyu persimmons are crisp with an earthy sweetness.

Ingredients

  • 6 Fuyu persimmons, each cut into 6 wedges
  • 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon rind
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 6 mint leaves, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted

How to Make It

Step 1
