Persimmon Prosciutto Bites
I’m a big fan of persimmons. I first discovered them whilst living in South Korea. They were everywhere and I loved their crunchy, sweet taste. Â Ever since I have been trying to figure out how I could incorporate them into a delicious gluten free snack. They are great on their own of course but sometimes you fancy being a little creative.
For Thanksgiving this year we spent the day at a friends house and what was sitting on the table when we arrived? A delicious snack involving persimmon. If you are looking for a delicious and gluten free appetiser with an autumn feel then these persimmon prosciutto bites are perfect. They are super simple to make too as you only need five ingredients.
Ingredients
- Persimmon
- Fig jam
- Goats Cheese
- Prosciutto
- Rocket (arugula for those of you in the US)
How to make it
- Chop your persimmon into slices
- Add a small dollop of fig jam to the centre of each slice
- Add some goats cheese
- Top the cheese with prosciutto
- Garnish with rocket and serve

Dec 6th, 2011Really interested to read this. I’ve just had a Russian friend over to stay from New York where she’s on work secondment for 2 years and she was raving about how much she loves persimmons. I’ve never tried them but am now super keen.
Have you ever seen them in the UK? I keep loooking in my local Waitrose which is usually great for different varieties of fruit but I’ve not seen yet. I wonder if they’re not in season for the UK at the moment?

Dec 6th, 2011Yes, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen them in the usual places like Tesco and Asda…especially around this time of year (Autumn/Winter). I think we call them Sharon Fruit in the UK.
They are very tasty…simply on their own on incorporated into snacks like this. I hope you find them!
