My nonna used to freeze her kaki to eliminate the acrid bitterness of the less ripe ones. Here in North Carolina, we have an American persimmon on like every block. The electric company just hacked up the one in my back yard. But, lord, those American persimmons will swell my tongue and put sweaters on my teeth, no matter how ripe! Yet I still try to eat them every year. Loving this newsletter!
