today is simple: poached persimmon and cream

~ tentimestea

This was not supposed to have a post. This was supposed to just be a bit of a side note on another persimmon recipe. An “oh look you can poach persimmons with vanilla and cardamom too” and then A photo. ONE photo.

But I didn’t end up with one photo did I? I never do!

There is nothing very special about this. If we’re talking vanilla and cardamom poached fruit, that’s already happened before. In fact, I also used these persimmons while they were a bit underripe (this is because they were also a bit bruised) and so they didn’t have that lovely custardy-mango texture.

I still did enjoy it as I love the taste of persimmon. Photo inflation is a dangerous phenomenom. I’ve been going through my drafts pretty quickly as of late. I also haven’t been too visit-y lately (there is a better word I’m sure, but my brain slows to a halt after 3 pm). This combination is because I am hoping to work my way through some of these drafts and try to clean up a bit after myself! After all, it’s almost spring, so that means spring cleaning right?

    1. Thank you Freda! I think there is nothing better than a perfectly ripe persimmon eaten just as is! However, these persimmons strangely enough never managed to ripen that well, so I thought it warranted some fiddling 🙂

    1. Thank you Sandhya! Cardamom and vanilla is my favourite combination for poaching fruit 🙂 I love persimmons as well, though I’m conflicted over whether this poaching is worth doing. When they’re ripe, they’re just perfect as is!

  5. Omg! I have missed so many posts! I was sort of on a break due to exams! This post is really good and I don’t mind you posting another of it😊 I’ve never heard about Persimmon before..I don’t even know if I can find them here! Any substitution?

    1. Thank you Lina!!! I’ve been missing so many posts as well–and as you can tell, I’m still pretty behind even with my own blog’s comments 🙂 (and hope your exams went well! Taking a break is wise–I always want to write out recipes or ideas or pick photos in the middle of studying…..) I think ripe persimmons have a texture similar to mango, though the flavour is fairly different. 😀

  7. Lovely idea! And beautiful photos too! Congrats on dealing with some of your drafts Laurie – you’re inspiring me to work on that too, and to try poached persimmon. Thank you! 🙂

    1. Eheh, I’ve been trying to work on my drafts Lili! They’ve begun accumulating again… 🙂 Quite often there’s something that I was very excited about at the time and then when I look back at it now, all in all, it’s a bit enhh. I have a lot of those sorts of posts, and I’m not sure whether they’ll be posted or just eventually discarded!

        1. Hmm! That is a good philosophy! My aunt introduced me to the idea, and I’ve been meaning to apply it to the piles of miscellaneous paper I have. I never thought of taking this approach to the blog 🙂
          There is that ‘but’ though…sometimes even if its not so lovely anymore, I might have liked it once or I’d like to have the recipe somewhere for reference purposes… ah, perhaps my drafts will only continue to accumulate 🙂
