Too Many Dried Persimmons

[SheenaGreena]

my mother gave me way too many dried persimmons and I don't know what to do with them. I've been keeping them in the fridge (in a plastic bag) for about a month now and I've only eaten 2 so far. I need to do something with them, because well I don't like the way they taste now. They tasted way better a while ago.

Do you have any suggestions on how to use them for cooking? Can I keep them in the freezer? Do you have any asian inspired recipes for using them?

A nearby Korean market keeps dried persimmons in the freezer. That should work.

Savory recipes for fresh persimmons I've done... for dried ones, not so much. There is a fairly well known Indiana pie recipe though...

How about a chutney with red onion and crystallized ginger? Or a spicy persimmon barbecue sauce?

I think they taste a lot like dates, so any recipe calling for dates should work. Just chop them up.

how about if I chop them up and braise them with some pork belly? does that sound kinda gross? I bet it would be good smeared on some sort of meat - chicken maybe. I'll take some SIMPLE sweet ideas if you have any...Im horrible at baking
