persimmons

Easter in September Hiding in plain sight Lying on the ground Fell off in the night Smaller than an egg Lovely orange and bright Rubbed on pork and smoked Ice cream churn delight Full of large black seeds Extraction is a mess Best to wash them well Squeeze them through a press Ever so delicious Succulent and sweet Hunting golden eggs Father’s gracious treat

Awesome Jeff! There are three persimmons on our property - they are a succulent and sweet treat.

Superb, Jeff. I do wish you had worked int he word "persimmons," because some folks probably never heard of or seen one. They are delicious when they are ready, but only then! Enjoy.

This is what fell from one tree last night and this morning. We didn't get peaches or apricots this year, but we got apples and persimmons in droves!
