This morning I work up at 4:30am and jumped out of bed, not only because it was Saturday which means its basket day, but also the idea that I was getting something new to experiment on. I was going to have some fun with these wonderful new thing called persimmons that I had never heard of. Persimmons are not something I know anything about (shocker I know, I really am a newbie about some things. I’m just trying to make it in the big, NOT SO BAD produce world…haha! I like to joke about it now, but what I really am is a reformed extremely picky eater. Who is only learning about certain foods now because I was so closed minded about them before. I am a changed woman 🙂
The recipe gods were working in my favor today because this just came together (thankfully I knew a few ingredients already went well together), and lets be honest HOW CAN YOU GO WRONG WITH PROSCIUTTO!? You can’t! So, if you want the right amount of sweet with a tad bit of kick. Try this out.
Sometimes, I can’t even believe how something so simple can taste so delicious….it amazes me, yet for so long my mind was closed off to an idea because I was stuck in the false perception….Nice to know, perception’s can be broken and we can learn to grow.
Ingredients
- 2 Persimmons (I used Fuyu)
- 1 Jalapeno (Sliced)
- 16 Pieces Prosciutto
- 8 Rosemary Sprigs cut in half
- 1 Tbsp. Coconut Oil (melted)
- You will need parchment paper and toothpicks
Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees
- Wash, skin and cut persimmons into eighths
- Take 1 piece of prosciutto, fold it in half the long way. Wrap it around the wedge of persimmon, before making the last wrap. Add a slice of jalapeno and the rosemary sprig.
- Stick a toothpick through the end and all the way through the persimmon.
- After doing this to all of the persimmons, lightly brush them with coconut oil.
- Place parchment paper on a cookie sheet and back persimmons until prosciutto is sizzling and golden brown. About 10-20 minutes.
wow! Great appetizer. I did not use jalapenos
Thank you for publishing this, I have been on the internet this morning trying to find how to use persimmons without adding sugar, and I came up empty handed. I am finding things in my baskets that I have never tried before and persimmons is one of them. I hope I like your recipe, I do have fun trying new things.
