It's a small berry, orange in colour, and usually sold with dry, green leaves attached. It tastes a bit like a sharon fruit.

A sharon fruit is a hybrid of the persimmon. Persimmons are ancient fruits that have grown in the far east for centuries. The are great for making jams and purees but not so good for eating raw because they are very astringent.


The clever Israelis saw the potential of the persimmon and developed it. They wanted to grow an edible persimmon that could be eaten raw. About thirty years ago they achieved it and named the fruit sharon, which I think means "fair valley" or something close.


All of the fruit coming out of Israel is grown in collectives and cooperatives and is marketed by the government (much in the way that milk and eggs were once marketed in Britain). They use the brand names Carmel and Jaffa - and if you are familiar with these brand names you will know they mean high quality.

No idea.


To be honest, I substituted the fancy 'raspberries, physallis and mint leaves' with a good, healthy dose of revels for decoration instead! Much better, in my humble opinion.

That's a brilliant idea using revels for decoration but i wouldn't like to get the coffee one.

Send them to me! I devour revels so quickly, I can barely distinguish the flavours (....soft ones, hard ones, gone.)

Persimmon or Sharon fruit has a taste all of it's own.  It's quite sweet.  Wild Persimmon is only edible when it's rotten.

Bye the way, what's a Ramekin?

"a small fireproof dish used for baking and serving individual portions"


 - it was either that or a cheese, egg and pastry concoction, so I think the former is the most likely!
