fruit mead by product cooking?

Postby maxeneg on Thu Nov 02, 2017 11:39 am

I just made some persimmon mead and there's a bunch of pulp left that I put in a jar. Yes, it's a little vinegary, but I feel like it could serve a purpose. Has anyone done any cooking with it? Or have any ideas? Thanks!

What kind of persimmon? I.e. Asian vs american? Cooking american persimmon is known to bring the astringency back out (even if there was none when raw/ripe). Possibly the astringent Asians (like hachiya) will react the same way. Maybe experiment with small amounts?

Good to know. I might try to use it in a persimmon pudding...we'll see how that goes.

Update: made a sort of persimmon butter by adding sugar, vanilla, a little bit of cider and cornstarch.
