This is a picture of a grilled cheese and persimmon sandwich, which I guess looks more like a quesadilla, because I used lavash bread.

No matter: choice of bread, choice of cheese (in this case a few small thin slices of a parmesan-gouda blend), and thin slices of half a small persimmon. Into a pan with butter melted over medium heat. Brown on one side and then the other.

Wonderful.

Had bought a bunch of persimmons when I saw them just before Thanksgiving. Couldn’t resist them. Sliced several into a simple mixed-greens salad with pumpkin seeds for Thanksgiving dinner.

Mellow sweet flavor, beautiful shade of orange. What’s not to love?

And the good news? I still have some left!
