Did you know that
To speed up the time, you can prefer cooking in the microwave: in this case, the slices of persimmon are ready in 5-6 minutes. Combined micro + grill cooking at 800W power is recommended.- Remove from the oven and serve immediately: baked apple persimmons are an excellent (and alternative) combination for meats and vegetable roasts.
