When I lived in Calif. one neighbor on one side had the "apple persimmons" -
the small ones that are good to eat just like an apple, only you have to
peel them. They weren't good for baking. Another neighbor across the
street had the big red ones that were good for baking. You have to let them
get really ripe before using them - the stores have to get them in before
they are fully ripe because they bruise so easily.
