Soft Persimmons with Cornmeal Patties

　　Soft Persimmons with Cornmeal Patties: This is a must-try autumn delicacy when persimmons are fully ripe in rural areas. The preparation involves mixing cornmeal with boiling water to form dough, shaping it into round patties, then either boiling or steaming them. When eating, a ripe persimmon is placed on top of the patty and enjoyed together—sweet, refreshing, and delicious. In families with young children, to prevent the persimmon from slipping off, the patty is sometimes shaped like a small basket to hold the fruit inside. Folklore says, “Soft Persimmons with Cornmeal Patties are as satisfying as a hot pot meal.”
