[Sca-cooks] OOP -- Persimmons

[John Kemker]

Y'know, thinking about the sweetness of persimmons (when fully ripe) and 
the propensity of deer to eat said fruit, I came up with an idea.

How about a hunter's sauce using persimmons as the sweetener/fruit 
base?  Many complain of the "gamey" taste of venison.  (Not me.  It's 
never tasted "gamey" to me.)  To offset that, some have used sweet, 
fruit-based sauces to help complement the taste.  Would persimmons be 
appropriate for a hunter's sauce, instead of the traditional jellies/jams?

In any case, I found a link using Google that has several persimmon recipes:

http://www.huntersiga.com/RecipeSearchResults.cfm?SearchString=course:dessert%20AND%20fruit

There is Persimmon Ice Cream, Persimmon Ice, Persimmon Cream Pie.

This link has Persimmon Jelly:

Hopefully, this will give you some ideas on how to use the puckery fruit 
for something other than attracting deer.  (My favorite use for persimmons!)
