This is what we did with our persimmons in the end. Must have been nice because it’s all gone already. I ran out of sugar so there probably wasn’t that much in ours … but then I used golden syrup to sweeten the custard so that made up for it! Oh, and our persimmons blended down without needing any orange juice, just as well as I didn’t have any of that either!
