When I was a child, there were persimmon trees in the garden. I picked the persimmons on my own and ate lots of them. We are making a slightly fancy appetizer with my favorite, persimmon!

Recipe Notes

In Italy and Spain, melon wrapped in Prosciutto or Jamón Serrano is a popular appetizer but we are using seasonal persimmon instead. You can also use pears, peaches or figs instead of the persimmon.
This easy and exquisite appetizer is very handy especially when you have unexpected guests. When you hold a party, arrange a large amount of this appetizer on a plate to entertain your friends or family.
