Ingredients
- 3 fresh persimmons, peeled (see Notes)
- 1 cup (250 mL) Simple Syrup
- 1 cup (250 mL) whipping (35%) cream
- 1 tsp (5 mL) orange zest
Directions
1. In a food processor or blender, purée persimmons with syrup until smooth. Transfer to a clean bowl.

Notes
Persimmon Basics:
The national fruit of Japan also has a North American history, in that Native Americans taught European settlers how to use the fruit in breads and puddings. Persimmons are ready to eat when they are ultra-soft. Just break the skin and spoon out the delicious flesh.
