(#65) PERSIMMON HONEY: Fall Fruits of Haymarket

I hadn't even heard of persimmons until I went to Haymarket last weekend.  My friend has a stand there and when I asked what they tasted like, he cut one up.  My first thought was "this would make a tasty ice cream!" 

We paired it with a little bit of honey and the result is subtle yet sweet.  If we weren't running behind on our 100 flavors, I would have loved to try this flavor with some cardamom. How delightful is the Fall?
