The jam I make is delicious with chicken and fish...I use it almost like a chutney.Suzannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897454936453601178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238113401841093273.post-4339184391570165992010-12-06T21:58:13.313-08:002010-12-06T21:58:13.313-08:00You're welcome!You're welcome!Suzannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897454936453601178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238113401841093273.post-81301725617234058632010-12-06T21:57:48.820-08:002010-12-06T21:57:48.820-08:00oh and I think we call it a Sharon fruit and they ...oh and I think we call it a Sharon fruit and they don't grow here - the ones we get are from Israel - I have sometimes put them with porkClare Wassermannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13626860487718518591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238113401841093273.post-16902657547036666552010-12-06T21:55:46.842-08:002010-12-06T21:55:46.842-08:00hey thanks for your explanations!hey thanks for your explanations!Clare Wassermannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13626860487718518591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238113401841093273.post-84192774224348981712010-12-03T07:32:10.872-08:002010-12-03T07:32:10.872-08:00Hi Clare...I don't know if persimmons grow the...Hi Clare...I don't know if persimmons grow there...it's an orange fruit...there are 2 kinds, fuyu and hachiya. The fuyu is a flattened round shape and is sort of crunchy to eat. The hachiya is rounder, loosely heart-shaped and has to get ripe and soft before it can be eaten with enjoyment...otherwise it's very astringent! But once it's ripe it's something from paradise with a beautiful orange color. I had never heard of them before I moved here and one was planted in my front yard. This year I'm making lots of jam. <br /><br />Actually osterized just means blended into pulpy stuff. I think I picked up that term from my grandmother, because the old machines were made by the Oster company! <br /><br />I put some photos of the persimmons here: http://mostlythreads.blogspot.com/2010/10/water-over-dam.html<br /><br />Thanks for visiting, Clare.Suzannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897454936453601178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238113401841093273.post-16342651394380327302010-12-03T00:26:30.096-08:002010-12-03T00:26:30.096-08:00erm I don't want to be an idiot but could you ...erm I don't want to be an idiot but could you tell me what persimmon is and what osterized means - I don't think it's a UK think but I like unusual recipes!
