Persimmon Snow-Cone

Hello, welcome to the first blog of the December Blog-A-Thon! Christmas is officially afoot! Persimmons are a winter fruit, so I thought it would be fun to turn it into a snow-cone and it ended up being a hit in our family. I'm not a huge fan of persimmons, but I sure do like them in snow-cones. So if your kids don't like persimmons, have them try this. Let's get started:

What You'll Need:

A pot

A wooden spoon

A colander

A container

Ingredients:

2 persimmons

1 Cinnamon Stick

2 cups water

2 cups sugar

1 tsp. vanilla extract (optional)

Milk of your choice

Step 1: Put the water and sugar in the pot and turn your burner on medium-high heat and stir the mixture.

Step 2: Peel and cube your two persimmons and put them in the mixture.

Step 3: Put one cinnamon stick in the mixture.

Step 4: Stir the mixture.

Step 5: Once the mixture starts to boil, put a lid on the pot and simmer on low for 15 minutes.

Step 6: Once the 15 minutes is up, take your mixture off the burner and let sit for 1-2 hours.

Step 7: Pour the mixture into your desired container through a colander.

Step 8: In a blender, blend ice, persimmon syrup, and milk of your choice (I use coconut milk) until ice is all blended up.

Step 9: Serve and enjoy!
