When persimmon season is at its peak, I just can’t help but load up on these sweet beauties. They are wonderful eaten raw, sliced thin on salads or sandwiches, roasted into a side dish or baked into a tart, but when I find that I have more than I know what to do with, I turn my persimmon bounty into persimmon butter! Similar to apple butter or pumpkin butter, persimmon butter is simply cooked fruit that is pureed into a smooth, creamy consistency. Because the fruit is so sweet on its own, no added sugar is needed. I just include a bit of apple juice, cinnamon, vanilla, lemon juice and a dash of salt to complement the fruit's flavor. Slather this persimmon butter on your morning toast, stir it into oatmeal, or put a dollop of it on yogurt for a persimmon-y treat. It also makes a fine addition to a cheese plate!
