Community Picks Recipe Testing
Community Picks Recipe Testing -- Persimmons
It's that time again -- help us pick the contest finalists for Your Best Persimmons!
Any Food52 member is welcome to help us test our Community Pick candidates, so go call dibs on the recipe you'd like to test that is in the list below! We'd love to see some new testers in the mix -- remember, we're accepting up to 3 testers per recipe. And, if the recipe is worthy of a Community Pick, we'll publish the best headnote, so make your notes count! Don't forget to email us your headnote (no more than 100 words) to editors@food52.com by next Wednesday at 5pm (EST).
When you’ve figured out which recipes are calling your name, in order to sign up, all you have to do is follow the link to that recipe’s page, and on the left-hand side, you’ll see a “Test This Recipe” button. Your job is easy: just click the button, and you’ll receive a confirmation email that officially crowns you a Food52 community tester. If for some reason you decide you cannot test, simply press the button again, and your name will be removed from the list. Act fast -- this button will disappear on the Tuesday before your testing notes are due.
We'll collect your comments, name the finalists and official Community Picks and publish the best headnote for each Community Pick (with credit, of course!). If the recipe you test isn't chosen as a Community Pick, please feel free to leave your testing notes in the recipe's comments section. Constructive criticism is always encouraged!

Found some at the street vendor on the Upper West Side. They looked nice outside, but were all rotten inside. Going downtown next...

Persimmon Yuzu Curd, please.

I found some at Safeway too. They are a little hard but they should be fine for the korma I'm testing.

For those of you trying to find persimmons, you can almost always find them at Asian supermarkets,particularly the larger ones. In the DC area (sububurbs) look at H-Mart, Lotte, Great Wall. They're also not uncommon at the smaller markets such as the ones in Little Saigon, Falls Church, VA.

I just checked a large Asian market in my area (Portland, OR), but unfortunately they had none. The ones I found most recently were from Spain! Maybe East Coast has a slightly later season?

I found hachiyas from Spain in Stamford, CT! But they aren't soft and ripe enough yet to use. I'm going to try putting them in the freezer to speed things along.

My husband just bought 4 pretty nice Fuyu persimmons and I would like to taste a recipe, but the sign “test the recipe” doesn’t work. I pressed it several times.

So sorry you're having trouble! Could you tell me which isn't working for you? They seem to be fine on my end.

I can't find persimmons either. I had a great idea I wanted to try for a recipe, but even Whole Foods had no fruits, puree or juice. So I can't do any trying or testing this time.

What a lovely collection of recipes! Sadly, I will have to skip testing this week too, due to unavailability of persimmons at my local markets.

It is a beautiful array and would love to test but no persimmons to be found at least in my area.

Me too! I will go on a hunt this weekend and hopefully be able to rustle up a few persimmons somewhere ...

An amazing collection of recipes, and I would sorely love to test this week, but don't think I'll be able to find persimmons.
