Sweet Pickled Persimmon
My pickled persimmon slices are the perfect balance of tart and sweet, with a little spicy kick from the ginger. Perfect in place of pickled ginger with sushi, or as a topping for a salad.
Ingredients
- 2 persimmons (or whatever fruit you have around), peeled and sliced
- 1 1-2" thumb of ginger, peeled and sliced
- 5 lemons, juiced
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, very gently toss together the persimmon slices and the ginger until they are combined. Transfer the ginger and persimmon slices to your air-tight jar.
- In the same mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, salt, and maple syrup.
- Slowly pour the mixture into the jar over your fruit slices. Seal the top and refrigerate overnight. Serve cold as a garnish for salads or featured on your next cheese, charcuterie, or sushi plate.
