Persimmon season only comes for a short time each winter, so when it does, we try to find as many ways as we possibly can to enjoy these candy-like fruits. We grow a special variety of persimmons, known as the Rojo Brillantes, which are a cross between the Hachiya and Fuyu varieties that are most commonly found in grocery stores. The hybridization of the two allows for the best qualities of each to shine through, without the chance of experiencing the "cottonmouth" sensation that can happen with an unripe Hachiya.
We love seeing what our creative foodie friends come up with using Darling Citrus®, and the newest recipe from Shadi of Unicorns in the Kitchen is no exception. She says this about her Clementine Spice Cake: “A robust combination of flavorful spices like ginger, cinnamon and cardamom gives this cake a warm feeling. Every bite contains a hint of each spice and, when paired with a cup of tea, this cake makes for a tasty winter afternoon snack.” Count us in!
Let’s face it: during the holidays it can be difficult to make fruit and vegetables front and center of your diet. Especially when it comes to entertaining, it seems like the most popular dishes are varying shades of beige (i.e. mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, anything fried). What if you could get your fruit and veggie fix in a way that still feels indulgent? We have the perfect solution with this Roasted Grape, Bacon & Suavo Avocado® Flatbread that is sure to freshen up your holiday spread.
