Preparation Instructions

Remove the stem of the Fuyu Persimmon and finely chop into pieces. Toss with the pomegranate seeds, cilantro, ginger, jalapeno, cinnamon, lime zest and juice. Add a pinch of salt to taste.

Serve immediately or allow to rest and the flavors will meld further.

To deseed a Pomegranate:
Prepare a large bowl of water that you can fit both of your hands in. Cut the fruit in half. Submerge the fruit, continue to break into pieces, pulling the seeds off and allowing them to drop to the bottom of the bowl. The white membranes will float to the top. Scoop them off and discard. The seeds will then be free & clear to use.
