Persimmons are typically reddish-orange in color. Two varieties are commonly sold in the U.S.: round fuyu, which can be eaten right away, and heart-shaped hachiya, which require ripening or cooking (when underripe, they are extremely astringent). Jason Travi wraps prosciutto around persimmon wedges and roasts them until the meat crisps and the fruit turns tender and sweet. Tasty Snacks
Make sure that your persimmon is ripe otherwise it will feel like the persimmon is sucking all of the moisture out of your mouth.

Don't roast if your persimmons are ripe! This was so good when I tasted before roasting, and so disappointing after. I used nice, ripe hachiya persimmons. In future, I would skip the olive oil and simply wrap ripe persimmon and a few rosemary leaves with a bit of proscuitto, skewer with a toothpick, and enjoy.
