I was very excited early in the pandemic to try duck eggs, and it took me a bit to find them. I was expecting a richer or otherwise different flavor, but it was like… not that different. Granted I got these at a store, not from a farmer, but I was bummed.
They have a lovely, soft custardy texture. They were a hot ticket when the IP was everywhere. It was an answer to Starbucks egg bites , pressure cooker style. Fortunately, it was a fad that still has legs but tbh, had the IP not been on the counter in anticipation of another usage, I might not have gotten it out.
I got so excited about this persimmon bread that I didn’t pay enough attention to the discussion on which kind of persimmons should be used. Today I saw fuyu persimmons at the store and bought them. Can they be used in this recipe? If not, is there a similar recipe someone can share that would work with them? Thanks!
You really do want Hachiyas for this, because when they’re fully ripe and sweet, their insides are pretty much mush. Fuyus can be eaten when they’ve softened up, but I like them much better when they’re still a bit crisp. I mostly use Fuyus not in baked goods, but sliced and added to fruit salads and green salads (they’re a great addition to a fall salad with some nuts). I’d definitely keep an eye out for Hachiyas to use in the persimmon bread.
I recommend to eat the Fuyus or use in salads as @CaitlinM said. They are more crunchy and less sweet than Hachiya persimmons. They don’t turn into an almost custardy pulp the way Hachiya do.
People bake them in tarts, but I think they’re better raw.
After all this time covid happened in our family. My husband had to be taken by ambulance because of a nosebleed that wouldnt stop. He’s home now. Anyways we are on the mend. I had some barlett pears that needed using up so made this recipe with much effort. Its a very easy recipe just my strength isnt back. Served it with french vanilla ice cream and we loved it.
Thank you. Hes much better. They did a catharization and he has to be very careful not to sneeze thru his nose or blow it. Its very difficult with a lingering cough.
Catherization? Isn’t that another portal? Cauterization maybe?
Had many of those in this lifetime.
Ayr brand nose GEL(saline) helps to keep those membranes flexible.
I embarrassed to say my IP is on the counter always. I use it almost daily. More often than the stovetop. I’ve never done egg bites though. Soft boiled breakfast eggs often in the IP.
