You live in CALIFORNIA and don't know a persimmon when you see one? OMG -- Marta! You need an education...so here goes. There are two types of persimmons typically seen around here (I may start showing how much I DON'T know any minute now...lol). There are the small flat ones and the larger more triangular shaped ones -- both are orange (one of them is called Japanese...I think the small ones). They ripen on the tree after a heavy frost...they are the orange fruit you see hanging on trees without leaves near the holidays! They make wonderful breads and cookies (dang, and I can't find my recipe, either). You use the puree of the fruit (like pumpkin, only wetter) to make the cookies and the cookies are moist and delicious. I hope this is helpful...your local stores HAVE to have persimmons (or you can go heist them off of a tree that no one harvested)! You can freeze the pulp or use it right away.
