Instant Italian Cheese Tray

Add sweet, crisp Fuyu persimmons to your Instant Italian Cheese Tray. Their vibrant color and appearance definitely spark conversation. Tiny Champagne grapes, quartered Seckel pears, or a bowl of pomegranate seeds are fun additions as well.

Party Tip: Fuyu persimmons, which are a beautiful red-orange fruit, are available in October through February. Shaped like a tomato, they have a super-sweet melon-like flavor. Fuyus should be eaten while still firm and crisp versus the Hachiya, another type that should be enjoyed when the fruit is very soft.
