Haha! The tannins is what makes that dry mouth feel. I found out the hard way that if you leave the pits in when processing it will also impart that flavor to the fruit. (I was trying to make persimmon wine/vinegar).
Oh wow, good to know! Did you ever successfully do persimmon wine/vinegar without the pits? Curious how it turned out.
@TomWylie Unfortunately no. It was when we were in AR and I used the last of the wild American Persimmons on it. But the boys enjoyed the fruit in rice pudding and oatmeal.
@@emilycandlish8140 ok. Well, there are plenty around here for trying again in the future!
Oh my the kids have grown so much!!! Emma is missing the same teeth as her!! Also did you check the middle of the persimmon fruit to see the kind of winter you will have?
Persimmon cookies look yummm
