Persimmons are a little-known fruit to much of the world, but, in central Indiana, they are a delicacy that many Hoosiers wait for each fall. This soft, edible fruit has a taste all its own and they are often referred to as "divine fruit." Scientifically, they are classified as a berry although most people think of them as fruit. Persimmons offer twice the pleasure, the fun of gathering and preparing and then the delight when eaten. The small orange fruits must go through several frosts and freezings to reach their sweet and delicate flavor. Persimmon pudding, topped with real whipped cream, is a fall treat that ranks right up there with other harvest favorites.
