I finally made the dried persimmons (hoshigaki) I’ve been wanting to try for years!
The main ingredient is these astringent persimmons ↓
They look just like sweet persimmons on the outside, but…
First, peel them.
While I was peeling them, they started to look so delicious that I decided to give one a little taste.
“Wow… SO astringent!!”
Well, of course they were. 😂
Then I tied them up with string and hung them out on the balcony!
Oh, they look kind of cute. 😊
After they’ve been hanging for a while and start to soften, gently massage them with your hands.
This helps make the inside soft and smooth as well.
And then, two weeks later…
They’re done!!
Wow! I really made dried persimmons! ✨
They have such an elegant sweetness, and they’re soft and delicious. ♡
And then…
I ate every single one in no time! 😂
Homemade food takes a little extra time and effort, but somehow, it tastes even better because of it.
Why not give it a try?♪
Thank you so much for reading today. 🍀
