Cool nights, falling leaves, and thoughts of Thanksgiving signal the arrival of persimmons. Bright ornaments in fruit form, they are perfectly timed to brighten days that seem to end abruptly, when Daylight Saving Time ends in November. One of my seasonal rituals is to seek out the fattest persimmons I can find, and transform them into hoshigaki. This East Asian treat is created by peeling and hanging the fruit to dry slowly, aided by an occasional massage that encourages a white bloom of sugar
