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

Cut seeds from persimmon wedges to form a small, flat top on each wedge.

Will absolutely make this again. I cut the recipe in half because there were only about 6 people, but it went so fast I regretted doing that. I'm adding this very easy appetizer to the thanksgiving menu.
