  • 1kg persimmons

  • 150ml apple juice

Persimmon Pearls 
  • Purée persimmons and cardamom and strain through a fine sieve.
  • Add 3.2g of Algin per 500ml liquid and blend to dissolve and combine.
  • Pour into a piping bag and leave to hang in fridge for 2 hours to allow any air to dissipate.
