My latest obsession? The tiny variation of the persimmon known as a Fuyu. Fuyu’s are bright orange. They taste sweet and succulent. I could gobble them straight from my fruit bowl all day long, but I wanted to use them in a snack sandwich. Thus my recipe for Fuyu Cream Crusty Sandwich.
It takes a minute to assemble, and the taste is out of this world! Now all you need to do is scout out a Fuyu persimmon at a farmers market or Asian market.
And FYI…Persimmons are super fruits.
