Persimmon in a dehydrator
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. When choosing persimmons for drying, opt for ripe but firm fruit. Astringent taste is acceptable. After drying, the dried fruit completely loses this characteristic of persimmon. When slicing persimmons for drying, the optimal thickness is 0.8-1 cm. The finished dessert can be served at the table.
