Sautéed Persimmons with Bacon

I should have done this a long time ago. I mean, bacon pairs well with sweet things. The salty goodness compliments a hint of sweetness so nicely.

The recipe calls for 2-4 slices of bacon. Since I knew I’d be the only one eating this at lunch today, I just made two. Which was definitely just enough for one.

If possibly, peel persimmons in one long curly strip. Just because it’s fun. If you want to entice the kids to help, maybe they’d want to try this. I like to cook these over a bit higher heat (just medium, rather than medium-low), so they get a bit more color.

After the persimmons are cooked, they’re tossed with all of the bacon , and some lemon juice, for brightness.
