Ingredients:
- the fruits of autumn are pineapple, pears, persimmons, pomegranates, apples, asian pears, some plums, and grapes.
- because most are picked ripe, only refrigeration is necessary, but as with all produce, choosing well is the first step.
Directions:
- APPLES are picked ripe, so refrigerate them after purchase.
- Should be bruise-free, unblemished and firm to the touch.
- ASIAN PEARS are picked just before maturity and ripen in storage.
- Delicate, often encased in a net of foam to prevent bruising, they should be firm to the touch and refrigerated.
- Eat promptly.
- The flesh is white, juicy, and with texture like a delicate apple with the perfume of pears.
- PEARS: Ripened best off the tree to avoid a gritty flesh, pears should be smooth and unblemished.
- A slight yield when the stem end is pressed indicates ripeness.
- To ripen further, leave in a bowl or a brown paper bag at room temperature. Check daily.
- PERSIMMONS can ripen on the kitchen counter.
- Fuyu, a four sided pale yellow-orange to deep red persimmon has a firm flesh and is eaten like an apple.
- Hachiya is large, oblong and has a deep orange skin; it should be eaten when soft.
- Saijo is egg shaped and reddish orange and eaten soft.
- Hard fleshed persimmons should be very firm and rich in color; soft fleshed versions should yield but not be mushy.
- PINEAPPLES: Harvested when ripe, pineapples should be even in color (yellow), undamaged, and smell delicate at the stem; heavy sweetness indicates age.
- Leaves should be deep green and fruit heavy for its size.
- Further ripening is rarely needed.
- POMEGRANATES: Thirteen varieties of this Iranian native grow in California.
- Harvested just before maturity, they have hard reddish shells that make a metallic sound when tapped.
- Can be refrigerated several weeks; edible seeds become juicier and more flavorful with age.
