Growing up in the American south… I was sure to avoid eating persimmons before they were fully ripe. My mother was raised on a farm and when I was young and roamed the fruit orchards, she warned me, “Boy, don’t you eat those green persimmons! They will lock your jaws!” Do you have any persimmon Halloween treat recipes? Martha Stewart’s got a few! The Pork with Persimmons and Mustard Greens is on my list to try!

See why this underrated fall fruit should be as popular as the pumpkin.
