honey baked spiced persimmons fruit in baking dish

Honey baked spiced fruit

Are you looking for a traditional, simple, wintery desert but with a bit of a twist? Then try this eye and mouth watering honey baked spiced fruit desert!

When I had a browse at Kingston market I was actually looking for pears to make a warming honey baked spiced fruit desert. But when I saw how amazing the orange persimmons, also called Sharon fruit, looked, I just had to buy them. I did not even know how to eat them or what to do with them, but once at home, the children were curious too and to my surprise – persimmons are lovely just eaten like an apple! Try them, they’re in season right now, from October through to February. But as I had actually planned to make a honey baked spiced fruit desert, and I wanted to stick to my plan, I wondered if persimmons would do the trick? And they do! So I baked them just like I would bake pears or apples with honey and spices and the result was fantastic! This is a really healthy, delicous, super easy family desert!

When baked with honey and spices, persimmons make a real change to baked pears and we all loved this warming and wintery pudding. Try serving with a bit of ice cream or sprinkle over some nuts and raisins. Enjoy!
