Persimmon Blondies

It wasn’t until midway through writing this book that I laid hands on persimmons for the first time in my life. All of the recipes were tested, written, and perfected, but I simply couldn’t allow these beautiful fruits to stay out of the picture. Mildly flavored, somewhat like a floral melon and citrus, their unique flavor and orange-reddish color lends incredible depth to the standard chocolate chip blondie.
