YOu can use it in place of pumpkin in soups and such, and with sage in risotto it very is nice and with feta,mint and walnuts in a kind of calzone is also very good! <br />Apparently persimmons officially are in the berry family?! <br /><br />I have a good recipe for flan with not too many egg yolks, 3-4 I think and when you think about it being Juniperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16779192722462442800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5850294300019175567.post-78262740108442080972009-10-21T12:10:47.168-07:002009-10-21T12:10:47.168-07:00Guusje,

I tried out this butternut squash. Ever tried it?? Loved its nutty taste in soups and risottos. <br /><br />With regards to your persimmon discovery - I remember having a pack of cards showing persimmon in one of them. But I can't remember whether it was a fruit or a veggie!<br /><br />Am a creme-caramel addict too Sukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02487950966823492140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5850294300019175567.post-58300499492131531462009-10-21T09:14:05.413-07:002009-10-21T09:14:05.413-07:00I love them too, if you do eat the skin, you get a...I love them too, if you do eat the skin, you get an very strange sensation on your tongue, really weird!Guusjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029112799104302695noreply@blogger.com
