What to do during the presidential debate? Well de-stem 15 lbs of ripe persimmons of course. I put 3 lbs in a gallon baggie and mushed them good. Then put 5 gallon baggies in the freezer to freeze solid. Freezing fruit ruptures the cell walls of the pulp, creates more juice but more importantly makes it easier for the wine yeast to ravage. Only use ripe mushy persimmons, If you can pull the stem off easy, it's ripe. Kind of interested to see what color the wine will turn out to be.
