Snapshots from Italy: Persimmon Perfection

@Figlet - don't compost them!

Hachiya persimmons can finish ripening off the tree. My grandfather grew persimmons for years and would pick them all when they were quite hard. They ripen up well on a windowsill, but it can weeks to do. We live on different coasts, so I would pick persimmons off the tree that were as hard (or harder than) apples (so they wouldn't bruise in my luggage) and they were ready to eat in a month or so. They are definitely worth the wait.
