Time 24 hr 10 min
Fuyu persimmons (the smaller, squat variety) are perfect for a quick pickle, as long as you buy them when they are underripe and still a bit crunchy. Colorful and spicy, these pickles make a great addition to a salad or cheese plate and a wonderful accompaniment to roasted salmon.
