Persimmons and Plums

We tried the persimmons this year. To me, wild persimmons smell and taste like some paint I've had over the years! Not really good. Even cooked they smell funny. I made a persimmons rice pudding that wasn't very good and now there is some persimmon bread in the fridge that meets all the measurments of a good quickbread, but it just won't go down. The cows like persimmons and I think that maybe the little fruits were created to be cow treats and I can leave them.

NOW, the wild plums are another story! They made a delightful plum butter! Makes me be on the watch for a chance to have toast or refrigerator biscuits. I was surprised how much plum butter those two little buckets of plums turned into. They are mostly seeds and skins when picked! So good and SO Pretty!
