This was from a few nights ago:
Persimmon Steak:
2 ripe persimmons, cut into ~1inch chunks
2 cup red wine, or enough to cover persimmons in pot (I used merlot)
2 Tblsp water
1tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp all purpose flour
Add persimmon, water and spices to a small sauce pot over medium heat. Bring water to boil, turning the persimmon chunks with a spoon to start them heating evenly. Once the water is simmering, add the wine, then whisk in flour, and bring back up to a boil. Turn heat down, cover, and allow to simmer for ~20 minutes, until wine reduces and thickens so that it coats the persimmons, and persimmons are very tender. Uncover towards the end to speed up wine reduction.
Serve over steak. Grilled NY with just salt and pepper works.
