Plums, Peaches, Persimmons - Oh My!!

Oct 27, 2017

The following makes me want to go to Italy right now! Maybe Dona could be persuaded to write more about her trip and the foods she had!?!?

Plums, Peaches, Persimmons – Oh My!!

I just arrived back from a 3 week trip in Italy and the food was fabulous. My husband and I stayed in Airbnbs throughout our vacation and I remember a specific Airbnb in particular. Before I tell you about this Airbnb I would like to explain Airbnbs. Airbnbs are places people can reserve, often just a room with a shared bathroom or private bathroom. Some Airbnbs offer free breakfast and the one I remember most was in Rome. Paola and Mimmo preserve jams with ingredients from their fruit trees. The jams we had were plum, peach, and persimmon. What a delightful breakfast! We ate toast and jam to our hearts' delight. I will remember Paola and Mimmo for their awesome hospitality and of course the homemade jams.

I like this resource for recipes for jams, jellies, and spreads:
