Persimmon Crumble – So Simple!

During Thanksgiving week, one of my coworker passed out gigantic bags of Persimmons.  I was super excited because free fruit is always a plus and because persimmons are a fruit that I eat very rarely but LOVE.  I learned that we usually see two types of persimmons out here in California.  The type that was … Continue reading »
