Two of the things that I miss over the summer are pomegranates and persimmons. Pomegranates are a staple in my home when they are in season. I usually de-seed a couple at a time and keep the seeds in a bowl in the fridge. There is nothing as satisfying as popping those, juicy, tart, delicious seeds in your mouth a spoonful at a time. Until recently, I have never even used them in any cooking, they are that good raw. Persimmons on the other hand are a newer discovery. When I was in London, my friend from Germany told me it was her favourite fruit. I have never heard of them before, let alone tried them but once I did I was sold.
