Spiced Persimmon Slab Pie
A favorite way to serve fall’s Fuyu persimmons is to accent their delicate fruitiness with cinnamon and lemon. For the best flavor, let fruit ripen at room temperature until it’s bright orange and has a slight give; this may take 1 week. You’ll need a jelly roll pan and an oval-shaped cookie cutter or small knife.
