Hello Friends,
This is going to be a post full of pictures and ideas.
Golden, delicious persimmons are in season these days so I don't want to lose any more time to share this post with you.
1) Our first recipe is Persimmon Marmalade.
We prepare this recipe with only 3 ingredients: Persimmons, lemon and chia seeds. It doesn't contain any added sugar on the contrary to the traditional marmalade recipes.
Persimmons, which to me look like some kind of golden tomatoes, are very sweet when they are mature. They are packed with vitamins, antioxidants and fiber.
Our marmalade has also chia seeds which are an excellent source of Omega 3, protein and fiber.
The trick here is that it is absolutely essential to have very ripe persimmons in order to obtain the taste and the texture we desire.
Under-ripe persimmon fruits are astringent and unpalatable to most of the people because of their high tannin content. As they mature the tannin gradually disappears and the fruit gets sweeter and more aromatic.
If you have immature fruits you need to allow them to ripe before to use. When they are ready the flesh will become completely soft, almost liquid.
Ingredients:
500 g very ripe persimmons
20 g fresh lemon juice
50 g chia seeds
