A Lover's Guide to Sharon Fruit
Sharon fruit (also known as persimmon, kaki or diospyros) looks like an orange tomato and tastes like a cross between a mango and a pumpkin. It can be eaten like a plum and makes a delicious snack eaten whole straight from the fruit bowl. We love it just as it is, but it also gets along gorgeously with other flavours and ingredients that offset or compliment its natural beauty.
Sharon fruit, how do we love thee? Let us count the ways...

2. Sharon Fruit Whippy:
If the fruit is soft and squidgy, pop it in a processor and whizz it into a delicious nectarine-like purée. Serve swirled through vanilla yogurt or dolloped into a warm bowl of porridge with a drizzle of honey.
