My Favorite Fruit

There's nothing like a sweet, ripe persimmon with a squirt of lime. I had never had one of these scrumptious fruits until I moved to California. Persimmons quickly became my favorite fruit.

They are ripe when they are soft to the touch but not too squishy. Black spots indicate that they are over-ripe.

I peel the exterior layer with a potato peeler, slice the fruit up into pieces and squirt lime all over them. Sweet and the lime adds that sour burst. They are sooooooo good.
