[QUOTE="Hangfire, post: 3649006, member: 27673"] No recipes but...... Several years ago I came across two wild persimmon trees on the land I was hunting that I didn't know about growing on the edge of a old overgrown clear cut......ripe fruit was on the ground and on the tree with lots of deer tracks around the tree. I quickly built a ground blind about 75 yds. from the tree with what was available and let the area calm down for two days before hunting the blind and was in the blind a good hour before light the third morning.......right at 0715 three does came in and I took the biggest one with my old Marlin 336 chambered in 30-30. The persimmons were soft and sweet and I'll admit to snacking on several then I figured since I knew that mama had never eaten a wild persimmon I thought I'd take some home for her to try and having nothing else to put them in, after taking my spare orange stocking cap out of my vest and putting it on, I filled my orange ball cap full and headed back to the truck dragging a doe with one end of a rope tied around her neck and the other end tied around my waist and holding a cap full of persimmons. By the time I got back home and hung the deer I saw that most but not all of the soft sticky persimmons had squished and turned to mush in my cap but mama did enjoy the few that had made the trip home intact.......the cap was a sticky mess and beyond cleaning so I tossed it in the garbage can.
